Which user interaction are you thinking of?  (If there's a broader
need or expectation for this, we would probably have got some user
request already for Emacs 21 and 22.)

As mentioned before, for the initial problem we already have
`mm-charset-synonym-alist' (for Gnus or maybe other packages).

Bye, Reiner.
