Research direction

The issue identifies email.contentmanager but names no file or test. Start by locating that component and inspect how it handles encodings, then determine where IANA encoding names should be used. Done means email.contentmanager consistently uses IANA encoding identifiers and the relevant behavior is covered by tests.
