This is a PHP mailing list, not a phpMyAdmin or MySQL ... (just needed 
to get that off my chest)


That's the Character Set / Collation for the MySQL client I imagine.

Leave it latin1_swedish_ci , unless you know your database is using 
UTF-8, or something else. MySQL defaults .to latin1 / latin1_swedish_ci, 
if you start seeing question marks in data you retrieve from the 
database, that would be an indication that you're using the wrong 
character set.
