In favor of interpreting the encoding label for what it is, and keeping 
a clearly defined behavior, and at the same time not incurring the 
performance penalty on properly labelled messages due to the regex 
search, I have the following suggestion:

On iso-8859-1-labelled messages, provide a "fix encoding" button in an 
unobtrusive place, like the lower edge of the message. Users can then 
click this button when they see an encoding problem.

When the button is clicked RC would re-read the message, interpreting 
the iso-8859-1 part as windows-1252.

Sincerely,
Sebastian
