I was using negative numbers and a #define for my new encodings.  The encoding 
number is only used internally (never saved to a file) in the Mail Daemon 
Replacement, so it doesn't matter much what it is.  But for other uses, since 
there isn't another way (yet) of specifing character sets by name, having the 
numbers match is important.
