I already have it configured like that for this area for a decade or so.

Good idea.

IBMPC is not a good idea as it is documented as obsolete, deprecated and ambiguous. It MUST NOT be used when creating new messages.
5. Obsolete indentifiers ------------------------
These indentifiers must not be used when creating new messages. The following only applies to processing messages that were created using old software.
Since the "IBMPC" identifier, initially used to indicate IBM codepage 437, eventually evolved into identifying "any IBM codepage", there exists in some implementations an additional control line, "CODEPAGE", identifying the messages codepage:
"^ACODEPAGE: xxx
This use is deprecated in favour of the "CPxxx" identifiers defined above. If found in incoming messages, however, it should be used as an override of the "CHRS: IBMPC" identifier.
