Just by reading the discussion and the bug report, I would say that we
need a htmlmailCharset, as Stanislas suggested, so that one can have a
different Charset for generated emails. It might be nice to have a
website in UTF-8 but still send out emails in iso-latin-1 or vice versa.

But I would agree with Stanislas that metaCharset should be used for
sending mails, while we have no other setting, because this is what the
admin explicitly set-up for the "output", and email is just another
"output" that TYPO3 might generate. From the source code comments:

 $renderCharset => Internal charset of the frontend during rendering
 $metaCharset => Output charset of the websites content. This is the
charset found in the header, meta tag etc.

I would regard "email output" as "etc". ;)
