You can auto-detect encoding with your charType but it does not always work.
My email assume encodings of income emails to be
BIG5:gb2312:iso-2022-jp:euc-jp:shift_jis:utf-8
so it can not detect russian.
However conversion between unicode and other encoding is straight
forward and reliable once you know the correct encoding. eg. the m2u
posted by kim for window or using libiconv.
