Understood.  I'll close out those tickets then with alternatives.

Well that is not exactly true.  The following are all the same ticket from 2018 
as a request from JavaMail/JakartaMail:

- https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8195686 (Ticket created by JavaMail user 
against OpenJDK by @jmiserez)
- https://github.com/jakartaee/mail-api/issues/302 (migrated ticket from 
JavaMail to JakartaMail)
- https://github.com/javaee/javamail/issues/302  (referenced in JDK-8195686 by 
@jmiserez)

The OpenJDK ticket JDK-8195686 has not had a proper evaluation since 2018.  
However, looks like this PR has that covered and I'm grateful for that.

Then in May of 2024 the following was created:

https://github.com/eclipse-ee4j/angus-mail/issues/147 by @davecrighton on the 
Angus Mail project.  Then in June @psawant19 commented on that ticket and later 
created this PR in OpenJDK.  So 3 unique users and all related to 
JavaMail/JakartaMail/Angus Mail on this very topic.

It seems pretty clear that we would have to contribute the new Charset 
implementation to move this forward.
