Re: shimbun.el: ISO-2022-JP as default Content-type charset?

(We're talking about the default MIME charset that the function
 `shimbun-header-insert-and-buffer-string' uses.)

This function is used also when generating text/plain articles
and this change makes it always use UTF-8 (even if the text
contains only ASCII letters).  However, UTF-8 is not necessarily
available (Emacs 21's native UTF-8 does not support CJK text,
for instance) and is not necessarily efficient for Japanese text.
So, I've changed it to the value that the function
`detect-mime-charset-region' determines, in the CVS trunk.  It is
defined in APEL, and is being used with MUAs including Wanderlust
for a long time.

(I'm now revising sb-mainichi.el to follow the site change and
noticed it.)
