What configuration settings are used by universal forwarders?

Does anyone have a specific listing of what configuration options are honored by the universal forwarder and which ones are not?

I know that parsing and merging happens at the indexer (or intermediate heavy forwarder), but I'm not sure about all the other settings. I read somewhere that the CHARSET has to be set on the universal forwarder, but is that the only one?

I thought a found this in the docs or in a post at one point, but I can't seem to find that information again.
