Add a <#part charset=utf-8> at the top of the message?  I haven't tried
it.  There should be menu entries and key bindings for all normal
charsets, much like the other MML-inserting commands under "Attachments".  
Maybe that menu isn't the best one though.  A "MIME" menu isn't very
perfect either.  Calling it "Format" might be too vauge.  Hm.  Outlook 
seems to use "Format", Mozilla "View", Kmail "Options".
