Re: [gmime-devel] controling charset used in g_mime_utils_header_encode_text

[Jeffrey Stedfast <fejj gnome org>]

Hi Paul,

US-ASCII and ISO-8859-1 are currently the exceptions to the 
user-charsets rule when encoding headers. US-ASCII because it is 
completely safe for transport and iso-8859-1 because it is expected that 
every mail client supports this charset.

I just added a g_mime_init() flag (GMIME_ENABLE_USE_ONLY_USER_CHARSETS?) 
to disable the current behavior and make it only use the user-charsets 
list to git master.
