I can even imagine a message with two parts, one in Korean, and
the other in Chinese. In that case, text in two languages must
coexist in a single HTML file. What character encoding scheme
can be used?
I would recommend UTF-8N in such a case. Pattern matching in
UTF-8N (or UTF-8) is relatively easy.
Another possibility is to use ISO-2022-JP-2 encoding or its
variants. But not many people actually use this encoding, and
I imagine very few people want to go along with the nightmare of
ISO 2022 style.
By the way,

you can also use per-directory encoding.
