Not currently. But there's some effort in making the iconv extension in PHP 
work. If this is done we can not only change the messages's charset before 
sending but also mix different charsets in the ui by converting them to 
unicode.

But it always has to be your decision, IMP will never decide in which 
charset a message will be sent.

We will need this feature for example for the Japanese translation that's 
currently be done, because the preferred web page encoding is EUC-JP but 
the preferred email encoding is ISO-2022 or SJIS.
