The problem stems from mm-encode-body and mm-find-mime-charset-region
and (prefer-coding-system 'iso-8859-1).

The problem is that mm-encode-body inserts the byte from the text file
into a multibyte buffer, and then tries to determine what charset that
is, which is, of course, nonsensical.

That's a very involved piece of code, though, and I'm not quite sure
what the right fix here is...
