You are missing the point - the encoding of the From line is  
completely relevant, since for reply messages the sender's name is  
generally added to the reply message text.

So adding windows-1252 text to a utf-8 body is going to produce a  
reply message body that contains garbage.  That's why the header  
charset determination is critical.
