I noticed the same behaviour as filed by docsemmel above, after my upgrade to 10.10 yesterday (well after two people pointed me at the chinese characters in my mail). I noticed the sudden selection option for "us-ascii" at the bottom of the list in the character encoding that wasn't there before, and it is highlighted
I could fix the issue (well it looks like fixed) by changing the character encoding in the preferences: Edit -> Preferences -> Composer Preferences The odd thing is that it was still on UTF-8 Select something else (notice the absence of "us-ascii") and select UTF-8 again. If I now compose a new message it is back on UTF-8 again at the Options -> Character Encoding and the "us-ascii" has disappeared. I guess during the upgrade the default has been changed to the absent us-ascii...
