i'm using juno 5.0.33, too.
apparently it sends some messages in us-ascii with 7bit and others as
iso-8859-1 with 8bit... i can't figure out why, but if i tell it to use
"Western European" it uses iso-8859-1... sometimes it changes encodings
when replying to messages, usually us-ascii to iso-8859-1 or utf-8 to
us-ascii...
to manually set the character set used, go to the Edit menu and click on
"E-mail Message Format" then "Encoding". (it doesn't list us-ascii,
though...)
