It helps to be specific and exact when talking about text encodings
and character sets.
I think it's pretty obvious from the context that the OP is talking
about 7-bit US-ASCII when they say "plain text". This is also the
historical usage of the term and this is the default character set
for MIME content-type text/plain.
Content using non-ASCII characters with content type text/plain has to
include a 'charset' parameter indicating ISO-8859-1 or whatever,
otherwise the content beyond 7-bit ASCII is undefined. There are many
national character set extensions to 7-bit ASCII, of which ISO-8859-1
is just one. That is the purpose of the charset parameter in MIME.
