I normally use UTF-8, but sometimes I prefer to reply in LATIN-1 or CP437, if I know that the recipient's software cannot do the proper translation.

This is how I'm currently doing: I have several GoldEd shortcuts, each one loads its own mini-config file (that includes the main one)

C:\fido\golded\golded.exe -Cgedlatin1.cfg
===[gedlatin1.cfg]===
INCLUDE golded.cfg
XLATEXPORT LATIN-1
COLOR STATUS WINDOW WHITE ON BLUE
=====================

C:\fido\golded\golded.exe -Cged437.cfg
===[ged437.cfg]======
INCLUDE golded.cfg
XLATEXPORT CP437
COLOR STATUS WINDOW WHITE ON RED
=====================

C:\fido\golded\golded.exe -Cgedutf8.cfg
===[gedutf8.cfg]=====
INCLUDE golded.cfg
XLATEXPORT UTF-8
COLOR STATUS WINDOW WHITE ON GREEN
=====================

I have different colors for the status line at the bottom, so that I can easily remember which charset I'm using at the time. :-)
