There is no need for me to re-read it, because I read it one hour ago and
have predicted that you "stick" on that part of Axel's thesises. ;) But I
referenced the first one, of course - hard-coding the default encoding
back to UTF-8 can revive to life the ticket that was already fixed by
mentioned "UTF-8 -> CP1252" modification. As soon as somebody in the
Windows World cannot read multibyte message from Haiku Mail. Localization
of this parameter give us a chance to avoid this endless cycle, IMO. :D

prohibit anyone from using something else in their localization.
OK, now it is clear. Thanks for the explanation of your position.
