+	When encountering a non-ASCII message or subject that does not
+	declare its encoding, add headers/quoting to indicate it is
+	encoded in <encoding>.  Default is the value of the
+	'sendemail.assume8bitEncoding'; if that is unspecified, this
+	will be prompted for if any non-ASCII files are encountered.
