Sometimes I get email which has no predeclared charset.  Emacs assumes
Latin-1 in those cases.  This is good in general.  But is there a way
to have Emacs inspect the current message and suggest a better
charset?

In particular, I sometimes know there is Chinese in it, but I don't
know if it's GB or Big5 encoded.  So I try both until I see a
character I recognize.  Is there a way to have Emacs/Gnus guess
whether it's GB or Big5?

Also, maybe I want to tell Emacs that the default charset for a
specific author is to be something else than Latin-1.  (I guess I can
do this on a per-group basis already.)

Suggestions?
