Re: Chars escape-quoted in RMAIL files saved from gnus

OK, so the windows-1252 ellipses display nicely in a RMAIL-mode file 
saved via `gnus-summary-save-in-rmail' when I run 
`universal-coding-system-argument' via C -x RET c windows-1252.  But 
SURELY there must be a way to automate this.  So I put these in my 
init file:

(prefer-coding-system 'windows-1252)
(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8)

This makes sure utf-8 is top pick, and windowsw-1252 is second.

You'd think that, when emacs encounters these \205s, it would KNOW to
pick windows-1252.  But it doesn't.  Is there no way to AUTOMATE
emacs' pick of coding system?
