No. A user should not care what charset they are sending in. Especially since most users don't even know what charcter sets/UTF-8 means. And UTF-8 should be fine for sending any message.

Hi, there are situations, when using 'default' encoding for given locale is not enough... Users have to be able to select alternative encoding for specific purposes.. E.g. ukrainian users besides "windows-1251" also use utf-8 and koi-8u... Please, bring back that encoding selector. -- Andiy Kopystyansky
