Need a charset manager service to map charset to mail charset (e.g. Shift_JIS to ISO-2022-JP). In addition to the mapping, the service should provide the MIME encoding type ('B' or 'Q') for the mail charset. They are necessary for sending Japanese mail.

Hardcoded workaround for M4. Fix this for M5.
Target Milestone: M5 → M6
Moved to M6 to give Cata time to assist Nisheeth on external DTD support in the XML parser.

Will implement after coming back from vacation, as an extensibility application.

This is part of the extensibility work scheduled for M11. I don't know why this was still marked M10...

nhotta, cata says most of the code is already done and to add the mailcharset mapping, he just needs to add a stringbundle. Please work with cata to nail down the specifics.
Interfaces I need, // return charset name string MIMEMailCharset(in string charset); // return MIME header encoding method (e.g. "B", "Q") string MIMEHeaderEncodingMethod(in string charset);
