Using 'undecided' doesn't disable decoding, it just means Emacs will try to
detect the correct encoding by looking at the text (not at the charset header).
In a UTF-8 locale, we will guess UTF-8 anyway, unless we see invalid sequences.
So yes, I think Noam is right, and 'undecided' is a better alternative here.
