I don't know wether this helps, but I have a default setup of
latin-1, and have the same problem viewing latin-9 messages.

In Message-ID: <0acc5b761e7260decdcdbcb5869bcce6@fitug.de>, both
W M c and C-u W M c latin-1 convert "n?herungsweise" to
"n\216äherungsweise".

This gives "\201él\201ève" here, on an emacs 21.2.1 right from
Debian unstable.
