If the email text contains something that is *not* UTF-8 (if the patch
contains diffs to files that have some reason for being in another
encoding) then it's probably best not to label the email as being in
UTF-8. Otherwise, labelling it as UTF-8 makes sense (including if in fact
it's in the ASCII subset of UTF-8).
