Sometimes I went to the site which has frames with different encodings.
When I set the Character Encoding via View -> Character Encoding option in the
menubar, it reloads all frames and the document with selected encoding. It is
not able to set the encoding of the frame or the document independently.
I'd suggest adding the contextmenu for frames to set Character Encoding (like
IE), which is the most intuitive way to do such work as far as I know. Besides,
the View -> Character Encoding option in the menubar should set the encoding of
the document only since the encoding of the document may not be the same as that
of frames.

This bug is likely to be bug 70830, though it's REOPENED.
