My guess is that your input file was really in utf-8. It was recoded
by your mailer for attachment, I would guess, but the PostScript
output contains:
0 13578(perch\303\251)m 937(\303 )s 1230(me)s 3(glio)k
1944(cos\303\254)s 2564(.)s
which are obviously utf-8 sequences:
$ echo -ne '\0303\0251' | iconv -f utf-8 -t iso-8859-1 | hexdump -C
00000000 e9 |.|
00000001
and 0xE9 is LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE; etc.
