Hi,

With the default configuration, when Mew encounters a subject or
message body containing — (EM DASH) and – (EN DASH), the charset
iso-2022-jp or iso-2022-jp-3 is selected.  I would prefer utf-8 to be
chosen.  I have obtained the behavior I like by modifying
mew-cs-database-for-encoding.  Is there a cleaner solution knowing
that I have

    (set-language-environment "utf-8")
    (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)

Best,
C.
