Depends on your mailer.  However, you probably don't want to convert
to using an ISO 8859-15 locale unless you're in the European Union.

In the long term, we hope to use UTF-8 locales everywhere, so you can
have both the Euro and the Tughrik symbol whatever your locale.

>> en_ZA.iso885915                                 en_ZA.ISO8859-15
>> en_ZA.utf8                                      en_ZA.UTF-8

It really cannot harm to add these.
