The way you changed the preference, then yes.  That's why I originally had
the preference set to '' (for Default RFC Encoding) by default.  If we would
have a blank option, and ship with blank (i.e. us-ascii) as the default,
then the 'default_charset' globals don't get set and none of the
convertCharset() calls are triggered.

I guess what I am trying to say is I believe we should ship with the default
as 'US-ASCII' (i.e. replace the 'ISO-8859-1' entry with US-ASCII) since this
is the "proper" RFC-compliant charset to use by default.
