With messages created from scratch locally that could be an option (or
at least issue a warning). But given you received a mail with a broken
encoding already, 3) would mean you couldn't reply to it unless you
manually fix the encoding.
I didn't look at the source yet to see if a prompt would be possible to
choose between 2) and 3) though (for mailx mode, you wouldn't want to
interrupt with a prompt).
