Well, ISO-8859-15 is needed for us silly Euro types when we want to talk
about money; ISO-8859-1 should suffice for non-geopolitical discussions.

I have charset="iso-8859-15" and
send_charset="us-ascii:iso-8859-1:iso-8859-15:utf-8" (the iso-8859-15 is
extra here) and, although PGP/MIME mails get mangled to quoted-printable
their character set is `iso-8859-15' when I include a `¤' character. (As
should this mail.)

Regards,
