It doesn't necessarily make sense as the $charset may be completely
local to the machine (e.g. 'x-my-charset'). I think that trying to
convert the local charset to the last item of $send_charset, which
should be the most general charset (e.g. utf-8), makes more sense.
I think it is important to let the user control the fallback.
