Actually changing the transfer encoding at all wasn't
my original idea. Instead to do a conversion
after-send prior to the actual archiving on the disk.

But UTF-8 is pretty much standard as well, aye? So why
not.

This seems to be the best solution because now not
only are the messages archived in a form that is
searchable and readable, they are also still messages
that don't need to be "converted back" if used in
a mail setting again.
