Comment (by siarzhuk):

 Are there any objections if I publish this issue as GCI 2011 task to fix
 it in the way described below?

 Replying to [comment:13 siarzhuk]:
 > I propose the following:[[BR]]
 > 1) Introduce the string B_TRANSLATE_CONTEXT("Default (UTF-8)", "Default
 Message Compose encoding") as the key to select default encoding in the
 mentioned menu;[[BR]]
 > 2) During translating, for example, to Russian, the Translator can
 decide to use  "Windows CP-1251 charset" translation for this
 string;[[BR]]
 > 3) At the run time the program use localized string as key in the menu
 and fallback to UTF-8 in case encoding was not found.[[BR]]
