As far as I understand, an iso-8859-1 user won't notice any difference. Only if the file is _not_ iso-8859-1 and "fits" in windows-1252 (e.g. it uses one of the few chars that make the difference). We have done something similar (see `mm-charset-override-alist') in Gnus for displaying mis-labelled articles. > I think the current default priorities are perfectly fine.
