I know perfectly well how to cure it, and you give an excellent 
description of the procedure.

However, this isn't the /easiest/ one to solve; several forms of garble 
require me to simply change the encoding in my email program. No 
copy/pasting, no launching another application, no saving and loading in 
a different program, nothing but a quick menu option. Click-click and 
I'm done, if you've sent a KOI8-R message and mislabeled it as Western.
