These two variables are for non-Mule Emacsen only, but Emacs 21.1 is
always with Mule.

Does Emacs use iso-8859-15 when you have a Euro sign in your message?

Emacs goes by the characters in your message to decide which charset
you use.  If you type an iso-8859-1 ä, then the posting will have
that encoding, if you type an iso-8859-15 ä, then the posting will
have another encoding.

You could set an iso-8859-15 locale to get *-15 characters by
default.  For example, I have LC_CTYPE=de_DE@euro, and as you can see
I'm sending out stuff in *-15.
