In EUC-JP locale, there are *no* way to read the ISO-8859-1 character.
It is natural. It is not a bug of any softwares. If you want to
design your software to be usable under EUC-JP locale, please don't
use ISO-8859-1 character. If you really want to use ISO-8859-1
character, please say "Hey CJK people, work hard to develop usable
UTF-8 environment, otherwise you cannot use this software!"
(If your software cannot use ISO-8859-1 characters even under UTF-8
locale, it _is_ a bug.)
(I checked your mail is written in ISO-8859-1 by checking the header,
obtained the hexadecimal value of the character to be 0xFC, and then
checked ISO-8859-1 table
http://kanji.zinbun.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~yasuoka/CJK/96CHAR/iso8859.1-1987.gif
to find it is a "u" with umlaut.)
