reading non-mime emails encoded with windows-1251

reading non-mime emails encoded with windows-1251

[Nedko Arnaudov]

Hi, I have email that has non-mime body with windows-1251 chars. I want
such mails (with unknown encoding system) to be showed using
windows-1251 charset. I'm using XEmacs 21.4.14 with mule. My default
font has support for windows-1251.

I've set these in my init.el

(set-default-buffer-file-coding-system 'windows-1251)
(set-buffer-file-coding-system-for-read 'windows-1251)

When I display the received email in article buffer it has
undecided buffer-file-coding-system (Auto in modeline).

I guess I must set some variable or call some function to specify
default coding for non-mime mails but I don't know what
function/variable is it.
