How so? The number of clients supporting UTF-8 should be greatly
increased, but that's all. I wouldn't mind using UTF-8 again as a default
after the installation. Alternatively, Mail could also use locale
depending settings (I would guess there are only a handful of encodings we
would need to encode this way), and could silently fall back to UTF-8 when
the mail cannot be encoded else. That would make the preferences item
superfluous which I think would be a nice aim.

Why? It's the same in Thunderbird, BTW. It certainly doesn't need to be a
very obvious feature (thanks to Clemens, I don't recall how Mail looks
like), a menu item would certainly suffice. I just wouldn't entirely
remove it just yet.
