that method was introduced to set the default encoding directly. If you know 
the correct 
NSStringEncoding. For example in GSWeb, you know what encoding your server uses.
It is resonable slower to set a string like @"utf-8" to the GSMime instance 
that has to be string-
compared and turned into a NSStringEncoding.

Anyway the version from last week DID handle utf-8 but now it does not any more.
The maptable in the current version does not include utf-8.
GSWeb is slow enough, we should try to make it faster, not slower.
I did not have the time to announce and to discuss this because I had to leave 
for a longer car drive...
Sorry for that. I will commit a patch this week when I find time.
