The user applied encoding is not really known - as soon as I change the global
encoding or the user-specific encoding, this would yield wrong results. The
transition from special to UTF-8 encoding would be smoother, but the history
files are left in an inconsistent state.
As long as the history files are not in UTF-8 (or any arbitrary, but fixed
encoding), we cannot make safe assumptions about the encoding at all.

What about encoding the entire history in UTF-8 and still have the opportunity
to re-encode mis-encoded messages?
