Slashdot digests sometimes need manual intervention to get some
characters to show up, since the contents come from quite a few
different sources / encodings and the overall digest encoding only
matches some of them.

I have mine defaulted to ASCII for sending. When it complains about
invalid characters, I can either fix the character or switch to
UTF-8 or Latin-1.
So, it doesn't have to be there all the time, it could be a menu item
rather than a drop-down list for me. But it has to be somewhere.
