encoding

I use Windows Mail for both email and newsgroups. Since not all the emails
or postings I send or receive are in English, it sometimes becomes necessary
to change encoding, say, from Western European Windows to UTF-8 or whatever.
My question is, is there a way I can have Windows Mail automatically change
encoding to whatever is the the header of the incoming mail/post. In other
words, if someone sends me en email in UTF-8, can I have my WinMail
automatically change its encoding setting to UTF-8?

Thanks in advance.

If a message is sent with MIME(none) encoding then WinMail will open it in
the proper encoding. If it is sent in Uuencode WinMail has no way of
knowing the proper encoding.
