Well, since some of Jens' users appear to be sending messages with  
ISO-8859-1 charset, I assume somewhere along the way they have saved  
this preference in H4, which is now being used in H5. Since this  
preference is now locked by the default in 'config/prefs.php' they  
probably will not be able to chnage this, unless one would unlock this  
value in 'config/prefs.local.php' (but that kind of defeats the  
purpose of locking this value to a sensible default, which I think is  
a good idea in H5). In that case the easiest way to fix it is (as an  
Administrator) to just delete these values in a SQL shell from Horde  
system wide.
