| emacs lisp is case sensitive (like Common Lisp, but unlike Common
| Lisp, the emacs lisp reader doesn't upcase everything on read by
| default).  Therefore 
| 
|    (set-language-environment 'UTF-8)
| 
| is not the same as
| 
|    (set-language-environment 'utf-8)
| 
| and I don't know whether 
| 
|    (set-language-environment 'UTF-8)
| 
| will do anything good at all.

I'm not claiming anything about the goodness of it, but it does work :-)

| In addition, you might add hooks to set the buffer encoding.
| 
| (defun mail-meat () (set-buffer-file-coding-system 'iso-8859-1))
| (add-hook 'mail-setup-hook 'mail-meat)

OK, I tried this (with message-setup-hook instead), and this does
indeed set the message composing buffer to iso-8859-1 (as read off
from the mode line).  However, when I send the message using C-c C-c,
it still turns into utf-8.
