Well, they can be in English and still be iso-8859-{1,9,15}, or
utf-8, or iso-2022, so that's kinda difficult to do.
I think the most likely thing to do is to go through the text in the
body of the message and check whether the text contains more than 50%
[a-zA-Z] characters. If not, it's unlikely that it's English.
I'll leave implementing this as an exercise to the reader.
