If you have no problems, then just stick with ISO-8859-15. But
switching to UTF-8 now, when you have time to deal with any
problems, will save you from doing it when it becomes a pressing
need for some reason.

Where do you set KMail to do "auto-detect"? As far as I can tell,
KMail always obeys the encoding specification given in the mail
itself, and probably only in the absence of that tries to do some
autodetection.
What exactly these "Fallback encoding" and "Override encoding" do in

been able to figure out.
