Ok, I understand your point of view, but in general, people expect to receive emails (95% or more) in his own language. If you need to add a control for selecting not only WebUI language but also "Date display" and others, you will have an usability problem. This control "for changing dates display" should be easy to use, and not confusing for end user. So it should be located at reading pane. But imagine what would be for a user selecting both "language preference" and "date display preference"...
You should remember we are talking about END user, this is a very very different profile user that you and me. Everything should be easy, no complicated selections. And autoselecting display preference by encoding is not possible since all western language share same encoding (ISO-8859-1/15 or UTF-8) and it's difficult to select proper language without analyzing body text...
