This is relevant when you are running with a non-English OS locale. It will
prevent entering non-usascii characters for day and month names in the reply
header so as to not force you to send in UTF-8 in case you write in a
different script than the OS locale is.

This does not prevent non-usascii characters in the header. It only decides
if the non-usascii characters will be RFC1522 encoded or sent as raw 8-bit
bytes - each in the chosen encoding.

Yes, correct.
