If Emacs recognizes the encoding of a file incorrectly, you can
reread the file using the correct coding system by typing @kbd{C-x
@key{RET} c @var{coding-system} @key{RET} M-x revert-buffer
-@key{RET}}. To see what coding system did Emacs use to decode the
-file, look at the coding system mnemonic letter near the left edge of
-the mode line (@pxref{Mode Line}), or type @kbd{C-h C @key{RET}}.

@vindex buffer-file-coding-system
Once Emacs has chosen a coding system for a buffer, it stores that
you won't inadvertently send a message encoded in a way that your
recipient's mail software will have difficulty decoding. (If you do
want to use the most-preferred coding system, you can still type its
-name to Emacs prompt.)

When you send a message with Mail mode (@pxref{Sending Mail}), Emacs has

+For Latin-1, Latin-2 and Latin-3, @kbd{M-x iso-accents-mode} enables

method, but does not depend on having the input methods installed. This
mode is buffer-local. It can be customized for various languages with
@kbd{M-x iso-accents-customize}.
