Thanks, I hadn't noticed that there's both the old 'codepages.el' and
the new 'code-pages.el'.

This will work, but you have to add Windows-1252 to the coding system
priorities explicitly -- otherwise Emacs won't detect it.  

But be sure _not_ to add it to the front, else Gnus will send out
windows-1252 crap just like Outlook Express.  Hmm, maybe we should put
in a check for this to avoid that embarrasment.
