O.K.  Fair enough.  I'd like to see this autodetected (and not by
editor type or version), but that's clearly a refinement.

How would you propose to make that work with charsets?  If I'm running 
in XEmacs/Mule I would like to see Japanese inline.  If I'm running in 
XEmacs/no-Mule I would like to see it punted to /etc/mailcap methods.
Similarly for KOI8, etc.
