[Alain] :
I would prefer that it be recognized without tags as UTF-8 if the first
recognizable (i.e. externally tagged by a "kosher" MIME statement, of
course) character set encountered in the body of the message would be
UTF-8. This would be more general, and also correspond to a current tacit
real-life practice (heretic, of course, but so useful!)
