That worked thank you!
1. You did you guess mac-roman? How can I find out myself in the future?
2. Is there any faster possibility? I tried out
(set-buffer-file-coding-system 'mac nil) but this did not work,
also there I did not find mac-roman as a coding system.

That is what I usually do, but a tag in the first line but if I receive
a file whose coding I don't know and don't know how to find it out, I am
sort of stuck.
