last-coding-system-used is set by all the functions that decode text. So
the above code makes sure the encoding of the message is recorded in the
message headers. That encoding can come from any number of sources: the
Charset= header, the current defaults taken from the language
environment, or from the user (see, e.g., rmail-redecode-body). Perhaps
I'm missing something, but I fail to see how any global default setting
such as default-buffer-file-coding-system, can be an alternative to
last-coding-system-used.
