4. There is a bit of problem in Mozilla/Netscape 6 for replying to
messages encoded in UTF-7. The mail compose window lists only standard
(or near-consensus standard) encodings. In replying to a UTF-7 message,
the charset of the reply mail will reflect the original encoding. But
that item (UTF-7) will not be visible on the Compose window encoding
menu because it is not on the default list of the recommended mail-send
encoding. One might say that this is a bug in Mozilla but my feeling is
that we should promote only standard or near standard mail encodings. I
don't believe we should unnecessarily increase send-mail encodings in use.
One possible solution is to list the "standard" encodings and the single
replied-to encoding.
