I'd like to extend the ticket to more broader encoding issue:

as the possibility to set the letter encoding by hand disappeared in  
IMP5, due to the non-uniformity of mail clients used I often run into  
following problem:

while replaying, the reply is sent in encoding set in the original  
letter, so, if I receive a letter from other Latvian guy, encoding of  
which is set to ISO8859-1 or US-ASCII (for example - by mailer because  
no extended letters are used in text) and reply to it using full  
Latvian alphabet (ISO8859-13 or UTF8), my replay can be guessed at  
best if not totally unreadable.

May be it is possible to promote encoding if replay uses extended charsets?
