I'm not sure using utf-8 is a good fallback. Some emails, especially 
those generated automatically, do not specify the character encoding 
which needs to be used to properly display them. In such cases a 
fallback character encoding will be used, which you can configure here. 
Set it to the character encoding most commonly used in your part of the 
world. As a default the encoding configured for the whole system is 
used. In countries using the Latin alphabet ISO-8859-1 (or ISO-8859-15) 
is probably the best fallback.
