[The real reason I don't, however, is that unless I am behind a cacheing
server, I would have to re-fetch the message, which in most cases is not
worth the overhead.  Another "discovery" is that the convenience of having
the CJK/Raw toggle on the Forms O)ption Menu became apparent to me: if only
a @-key toggle, you'd have to at least momentarily begin a re-fetch to do
the toggle before doing the assumed charset change.]

THANK YOU, Klaus, for this tip.  Now I know exactly what you have been
saying all this time.  -- If I can only keep it in mind when I hit a page
like this in the future!

Just to be sure I did what is expected, here is a paragraph for
comparison from files saved with the P)rint Save file to disk function:
___CJK-iso-8859-1___
| <p>
| Iam oni anka$BE-(B konsideras la "rigore pozitivan" lingvoiteracion
| <p align="center">L<sup>+</sup> = L + L$BB2(B + L$BB3(B + ...
| </p>(angle <i lang="en">Kleene plus</i>).

(I "see" the "au", "^2" and "^3" in the rendering below as bogus kanji
 when viewed as CJK.)

___Raw-utf-8___
| <p>
| Iam oni ankau konsideras la "rigore pozitivan" lingvoiteracion
| <p align="center">L<sup>+</sup> = L + L^2 + L^3 + ...
| </p>(angle <i lang="en">Kleene plus</i>).

And I have been looking for ages for an easy way to do this conversion!
Been staring me in the face all these years.
