Why?
Why make balsa even more complicate to underrstand and configure for 
people don't want to know anything 'bout "charset", "encoding" and 
"standarts"?
Other mailers can handle such clutter as well!?
A possible solution for me would be to guess the default-charset from the 
locale (it was invented for things like that) and put a small txt telling 
that Balsa presumes it is an "...-Mail".

To complete this put an encoding-chooser in "View" or "Message" and tell 
about this in the small msg as well.
