We need a pref to speficy an application level default character set. We also need a UI for this pref.

We used to have 'intl.character_set'. Since this requires a charset id instead of name, we need a new one which takes a name. How about 'intl.character_set_name'? UI should be separated from the charset menu.

If we do this (and I think we should), the prefs 4.5 -> 5.0migration tool will need to handle this. Cc'ing dbragg.

This is depend on bug 2341. Mark it as M5

For M5, we are shooting to have the charset menu, but no way to set the pref for default charset until M6.

Do we really need this in M6 ??? I think it will only take me 3-4 hours to fix this. But I am not sure why we have to have it for M6

change to M7

Moved to M9

Fix and check in. Add the following line to prefs50.js to changethe default charset to Shift_JIS user_pref("intl.charset.default", "Shift_JIS");

I verified this in 8-24 Win32, Linux builds.
