Many MUAs encode all mail as MIME. You attach the message as an
rfc822 message. Apart from strange people who submit directly to
sendmail out of mh that they edited by hand in Emacs, it's a normal
thing to do. That's completely irrelevant to whether it needs to be
encoded as 8859-1, which is the problem. (Note that if it were
encoded as UTF-8, it would probably end up transmitted as 7 bit ASCII
instead.)
