The setting defaults to the DEFAULT_CHARSET for ease of use and backwards compatibility.

Patch needs improvement: set
Triage Stage: UnreviewedAccepted

The feature looks valid and the patch looks ok in visual inspection. It's not applying anymore because doctests were converted to unittests. If somebody updates the test cases, this looks like something to check in.

Flagging as "Accepted" until tests are rewritten

Needs documentation: set

Documentation for the setting is also needed.

Is an email specific encoding still needed, different from DEFAULT_CHARSET? And is it a common enough case to warrant it's own setting?

I think it's rare enough that we can use EmailMessage (which does support setting the encoding) directly in those cases. Given that there's been no activity in 6 months, and the patch would need updating anyway, I'm going to close. Please re-open as needed.
