[Users] What do menu items under View|Character encoding do, precisely?

[Ian Zimmerman]

I have gotten myself into a nascent flame war [1], so I better have my
facts straight.

What happens when I select View|Character encoding|Unicode and I then
read a message with Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1 ?  Is
UTF-8 just a default/fallback, or does it override the information from
the header?  If it is just a fallback, what does Automatic do?  If it
does override, is there any way to configure a fallback?
