Well, iso-8859-1 is more safe than iso-8859-15. Emacs 21 without
Mule-UCS can not convert iso-8859-15 into utf-8. This problem
also relates to CJK, iso-8859-2, etc. (So, I recommend Mule-UCS.)
Emacs 21 conforms to the locale configuration by default. If you
prefer another codeset, set language configuration explicitly.
For instance:
;; for Latin-1
(set-language-environment "Latin-1")
(prefer-coding-system 'iso-8859-1)
(set-default-coding-systems 'iso-8859-1)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'iso-8859-1)
;; for Latin-9
;;;(set-language-environment "Latin-9")
;;;(prefer-coding-system 'iso-8859-15)
;;;(set-default-coding-systems 'iso-8859-15)
;;;(set-terminal-coding-system 'iso-8859-15)

I guess that you mixed iso-8859-1 and iso-8859-15 on a single
message. (utf-8 is used, so the problem occurs.)
I can read a mail encoded with iso-8859-15 as another codeset
(e.g. iso-8859-1) by `C-c C-l' or `C-u C-c C-l' on Mew's Summary
buffer, so I can reply to a mail as iso-8859-1 instead of
iso-8859-15 on Emacs 20/21.
However, I hope to unify iso-8859-1 and iso-8859-15 into a single
codeset (either iso-8859-1 or iso-8859-15, not utf-8) on Mew's
Draft buffer.
I have an ad hoc solution:
[mew-int 00736] Re: convert

I'm thinking about merging this feature into the future release
of Mew.
