I don't understand this request. Why iso-8859-2 and not iso-8859-3,
iso-8859-4, or iso-8859-5?
[ pine uses iso-8859-1, but only as a "better" default than us-ascii ]
"The Posting-Character-Set is used when sending messages. The default
behavior obtained by leaving this variable unset is usually what is
wanted. In that default case, Alpine will attempt to label the message
with the most specific character set from the rather arbitrary set
US-ASCII, ISO-8859-15, ISO-8859-1, ISO-2022-JP, KOI8-R, and UTF-8.
For example, if the message is made up of only US-ASCII characters, it
will be labeled US-ASCII. Otherwise, if it is all ISO-8859-15
characters, that will be the label. If that doesn't work the same is
tried for the remaining members of the list."
If there was a good reason to prefer iso-8859-3, iso-8859-4, or
iso-8859-5 over utf-8 in some common situations (I am not aware of
any), they should be added as well.
