To define charset names windows-125x, use (require 'code-pages)
instead of (codepage-setup 1250).

The conversion from mule-unicode-* to iso-8859-x is not yet
supported by the mew-lang-latin feature.  If the message has
mule-unicode-* characters, Mew will use utf-8.

If you want to use iso-8859-15 forcedly, you can set the charset
name by hand.  In the Draft mode, hit `C-c C-a' (create the
region of attachments), move the cursor to `*Cover.txt', and hit
`C iso-8859-15 RET'.

(unify-8859-on-decoding-mode -1) usually prefers latin charsets
instead of mule-unicode-*.  However, windows-125x are not
affected by (unify-8859-on-decoding-mode -1).  windows-125x
always uses mule-unicode-*.
