This is what I had feared.

So, I think the best solution would be:
- Provide a Charset field next to the file-selection widget
   for the user to specify the encoding of the file he chooses
   for uploading;
- if the user chooses a text file and a charset, tag the
   attachment so; optionally, warn if the uploaded file contains
   illegal data w.r.t. the charset chosen;
- if the user chooses a text file, but leaves the Charset
   default value ‘unknown’ alone, try to guess the charset,
   as discussed earlier in this thread;
- if the user chooses a non-text file, ignore the value
   of the Charset field.

Best wishes,
