Yeah, you got it a little backwards.

In MULE-speak, as far as I can tell, encoded text is text encoded
using a certain coding system.  Decoded (or unencoded) text is in
MULE's native format (and hence can be displayed in the correct font,
etc.).  In general, when reading a file, Emacs decodes into a native
format, and then encodes back into a coding system when writing back.
