Comment:
A short version of the discussion in the Debian bug some people here might
not have read:
It only makes a size difference if you use non-ASCII characters AND no
characters outside iso-8859-1 (like the € sign) in an email. And the size
advantage in these cases would typically be something around 1%, so not
really noticable.
Having more charsets in the mix can cause problems when sending patches in
the body of an email (e.g. when submitting patches to linux-kernel, where
patches in the mail body are the only accepted form of submitting patches
to the mailinglist).
And one single character in the email making the charset flip from
iso-8859-1 to the incompatible utf-8 makes such problems semi-random.
