** [bugs:#228] Changing composition charset**

I should be a little clearer. What I was running into was that commands like scan and show would not display anything other than ISO-8859-1 on my system.
OK. Aleksander pointed out a problem with composition. mml seems to be always using iso-8859-1 as the charset in when \*sending\* messages \(which I also observe\).
I did a bit of experimenting and reading of elisp and found a workaround. You can put this in your .emacs file:

\(prefer-coding-system 'iso-8859-2\)

All messages composed with MH-E should now use that charset when sending a message. The main problem with this is that it makes the chosen coding system the default for \*all\* new buffers in Emacs which might be a bad thing for some people.
