Because I had lots of trouble with Emacs choosing weird

Well, using the proper charset identifiers as defined in
RFC1521 would fix the problem for me, as far as I can tell.
I don't see why that wouldn't be possible. What is the
rationale behind a choice like "latin1-iso-8859-1"? Isn't
that a pleonasm anyway?
