I actually like the present behaviour.

I have koi8-r as the default code set. It has an entire different
alphabet, Cyrillic. But when I write to international addressees (like
now) I only use 7bit letters. And I like the fact that Evo will *not*
mark this message as koi8-r. Otherwise, some Outlook user on the other
side of the ocean might have Cyrillic fonts automatically installed,
even though he could read the letter without them.
