I already proposed mm-charset-synonym-alist for the case of charsets in MIME messages. That would work only when the character set is specified in a MIME message, and only for Gnus. It would be much better to fix the same problem in a general way that applies for all the places in Emacs that you can specify a coding system. Why fix just part of the problem?
