In Preferences | General | Fonts and Encodings we still have a preference for default encoding of incoming mails (mailnews.view_default_charset). Similarly we have a per folder override for this in the folder properties.
These are used if the mail do not specify an encoding. But mails do tend to specify an encoding, or they are just garbled anyway (e.g. assumption of latin1 certainly doesn't hold anymore, if something's wrong it likely was UTF-8 and not properly marked as such). I haven't seen any other client having a preference like this. Seems very ripe for removal to simplify the UI and the code base.

Work in progress. It builds and seems to work fine, but test_bug540288.js, test_bug695309.js and a few other news related tests are failing.
