The behaviour you propose cause more problems because some systems
(especially those functioning in the US and Canada) do not know anything
about character sets other than us-ascii (and ISO, if one is lucky)
and that caused problem with message processing and the recipient may
not get the message.

In fact, at the early age TB! was functioning "your" way (i.e. it was
setting character set even though there were no characters from that
CS in the message at all), but we changed it to the current behaviour
after cases caused by systems described above...

So, basically, there is no problem on our side to assign non-ASCII
character set for messages with only 7-bits characters, but this may
be troublesome - this is why we don't want to do that :-)
