I guess this is because some broken mailers state Latin-N while
actually using the corresponding Windows codepage, and when the
message includes characters not in Latin-N, they are not displayed
correctly.
But even if we keep this "feature" (see below for an alternative
suggestion), I don't see a need to force this on users. We should
have a user option to do this. Personally, I think it should be off
by default, but if someone feels strongly about that, I won't mind
having it on by default, in which case I will customize it on my
system.

It's surprising and kludgey, IMO. A better solution would be to
decode by windows-12XX, but set last-coding-system-used to Latin-N.
That way, only if I reuse the text that is not encodable by Latin-N, I
will need to do something. Otherwise, I get to have the cake and eat
it, too.
