There is some magic in mm-util.el to propagate ISO-8859-x, x small, to
ISO-8859-15, if the message contains characters in the ISO-8859-15
charset. Stock Emacs 21.1 cannot encode any ISO-8859-15 characters
using UTF-8, which means that we've got problems if the user chose a
Latin-9 environment and actually uses umlauts and other characters.
But you should read the thread yourself, I'm probably biased. As far
as I can tlell, the thread in question started at
<lgd.87n12c21nc.fsf@mde1.zonix.de>.
