this refers only to the BODY ... you did not use any 8 bit characters in
the body ... hence 7 bit.
The charset header does not apply to to:/from:/subj: headers.
(there is a prepended iso-8859-x if needed, and the 8 bit characters get
quoted printable encoded)

Yes ... exactly ...
Nearly every charset has us-ascii as the first 128 characters.
