I would like my default New Mail Message Encoding to be Western European
(Windows). However, it is showing as "New Message - Unicode (UTF-8)". I do
use a Stationery for composing. I know how to change the encoding in a
specific new message with Format\Encoding; what I don't know is how to make
Western European the default for all new messages. Would appreciate your
advice. Thanks.

In the top window select Western European and then click Set as Default.

Thanks but -- that setting is already set to Western European as default and
I still get Unicode when composing a new message.
 
I don't know what you mean by "this suggestion" since you did not quote it.

Go to Tools, Options, Send, International Settings..
In the dropdown list there should be a selection for Western European (ISO).
