But coding systems aren't charsets, of course. OTOH, how are you
supposed to MIME multiple MULE charsets in a region anyway? Is the
buffer's coding system (for write?) actually the relevant thing?
BTW, has the doc for `coding-system-get' been noticed in this
connexion?
- Function: coding-system-get CODING-SYSTEM PROPERTY
This function returns the specified property of the coding system
CODING-SYSTEM. Most coding system properties exist for internal
purposes, but one that you might find useful is `mime-charset'.
That property's value is the name used in MIME for the character
coding which this coding system can read and write. Examples:
(coding-system-get 'iso-latin-1 'mime-charset)
=> iso-8859-1
(coding-system-get 'iso-2022-cn 'mime-charset)
=> iso-2022-cn
(coding-system-get 'cyrillic-koi8 'mime-charset)
=> koi8-r
The value of the `mime-charset' property is also defined as an
alias for the coding system.
