How SNDM deal with ISO-8859-1?

SNDM utility states that it supports ISO-8859-1 (CCSID 819). That means SNDM should convert specific Latin-1 EBCDIC "default CCSID"s listed below to ASCII CCSID 819 precisely and sends a mail with corresponding charset header.

Note: ISO has created ISO-8859-15 to suuport euro currency symbol and several other characters to ISO-8859-1. AS/400 (iSeries) supports ISO-8859-15 (CCSID 923, see AS/400 Roadmap to Euro Support Updated Edition (January 22, 1999) for details) but SNDM does not support it. If you are using "ECECP's CCSID"s listed below, SNDM will not correctly convert newly added characters and sends the mail with incorrect header (charset) information.
