Which particular charsets does your browser and apache server purport to
know about?  You might find that the AddDefaultCharset (apache 1.3.12+)
directive might help with your normal characterset, as RT does not add a
charset by default (although you could put one in
WebRT/html/Elements/Header).

Handling multiple charsets is.. currently outside RT's abilities right now
(see the charset comment in lib/RT/Interface/Email.pm), but Jesse has
planned for it (see the SQL Users.{Lang,EmailEncoding,WebEncoding}
columns).
