I don't believe Plan 9 is causing the problem.  I just 
manually sent myself an 8-bit 8859-15 message on
Plan 9 with the script below and it came through just fine,
at least using "mail" to read (didn't try acme Mail but they
should be the same).

Probably some mail server before Plan 9 is screwing
with the 8-bit characters.
