The second patch was broken - for C locale the ANSI_X3.4-1968 codeset
was used, which is insane because git-send-email adds Content-Type
only when non-ASCII characters were found. I think this can be fixed
by just using UTF-8 if langinfo returns ANSI_X3.4-1968.

However I think that that patch should be dropped for now, because also
other git commands like "git commit" don't use codeset from locale.
The git commit just detects invalid UTF-8 characters and prints hint
for user to set i18n.commitencoding. If you like the idea of using codeset
from locale I can send fixed patch and also change "git commit".

For now I think it's better to just take only the first patch.

I'm resending the first patch with added tests.

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [PATCH] git-send-email: introduce compose-encoding

The introduction email (--compose option) have encoding hardcoded to
UTF-8, but invoked editor may not use UTF-8 encoding.
The encoding used by patches can be changed by the "8bit-encoding"
option, but this option does not have effect on introduction email
and equivalent for introduction email is missing.

Added compose-encoding command line option and sendemail.composeencoding
configuration option specify encoding of introduction email.
