23.0.60; rmail initial misdecoding of iso-8859-15 mail (quoted-printable at least) |

In rmail, fetching iso-8859-15 mail isn't working right, at least of
format:
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-15"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
...
To reproduce (only emacs-unicode-2 branch tested):
Have an email indicating iso-8859-15, with iso-8859-15 characters.
(see included example unix mailbox mbox.iso-8859-15) have rmail fetch
it (C-u g mbox.iso-8859-15) into rmail.
It is misdecoded, the euro currency character #A4 becomes the
international currency symbol (as it would be in iso-8859-1).
However, the coding system for the mail is iso-8859-15, only now the
decoded mail has a character invalid for iso-8859-15 embedded in it, so
if you then e.g. rmail-redecode-body, the international currency
symbol is not preserved and/or fixed but rather lost, quite probably
because reencoding from back to iso-8859-15
(rightly) can't handle the international currency symbol.
Note that starting from iso-8859-1 doesn't exhibit this behaviour -
you can fetch an iso-8859-1 mail with the international currency
character, rmail-redecode-body to iso-8859-15, and it (correctly)
becomes the euro sign, rmail-redecode-body back to iso-8859-1, and it
(correctly) becomes the international currency sign again.
(try C-u g of the also attached mbox.iso-8859-1 )
