I think making Gnus do it is a good idea. I'm not troubled with
such mails so much but I know a lot of European web pages use
`windows-1252' in spite of labeling as `charset=iso-8859-1'. So,
I improved emacs-w3m (in CVS) so that it might use `windows-1252'
aggressively in such a case. (I can only identify if it displays
the euro sign correctly, though. ;-)
