Suppose I compose a message in VM which contains, say, latin-1
characters but also hiragana characters.  When VM encodes the message
prior to sending it, it will choose the iso-2022-jp charset.  As a
result, the latin-1 characters do not display correctly; e.g., ,Ai(B
instead of é.

I have however received messages where both types of characters coexist
happily, but these seem to be sent using a patched version of VM/7.19
where the MIME has been generated by SEMI and not internally by VM.

My question is whether I can force VM to use a charset which contains
both types of characters, or whether I have to patch VM to call SEMI
for MIME encoding.

Many thanks in advance, José (ホセ)
