You don't need it. Don't know about Outlook Express, but Outlook got its own setting in tools->whatever about it.

In order to stress the SA's inclination toward Open Standards and push away any feeling of anti-Windows bigotism, I would suggest to name the test something like, say, NOT_RFCxxx_CHARSET and test for the charset not being any of the allowed ones.

Even IBM has (had?) its own charsets...
