My comment was aimed at that fact.

ASCII is a prefix on both character sets, so if your message
is in 7 bit U.S. ASCII, it will display anyway.  The same for
JIS-208, EUC, ISO-10646, and all ISO-8859-X character sets.
7-Bit NRCS' have some differences, but they don't effect display
of English text (but do effect code).  KOI-8, too, though it's a
rather strange "standard" (defacto).
