Sometimes adding new charset costs much.
  For example: JIS X 0213 (ISO-2022-JP-3 etc.) will be used for a
  language of indigenous people in Japan.  However, it is a 
  superset of JIS X 0208 (ISO-2022-JP etc.) and adds over 4000
  charater maps.

I think an inexpensive alternative to adding charsets is encoding
text off-line and upload it as inline text/plain attachment.
This workaround will also reduce update works caused only by 
addition of charset support, even if it's a small charset (such as
VISCII).

How about this idea?

OK.  I'll not consider about non-Unicode configuration so much.
