This is as wrong as is iso-latin-1. In CP1252 your \205 and \212  
codes are:

        ;   oct   dec   hex    UCS2    UTF-8
        ;=====================================
        … = 205 = 133 = 85 = U+2026 = E2 80 A6 : HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS
	Š = 212 = 138 = 8A = U+0160 =    C5 A0 : LATIN CAPITAL LETTER S WITH  
CARON

Use Jason Rumney's recommendation! I can see from ICU files that in  
CP850

        \205 -> [à]  00E0  LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH GRAVE
        \212 -> [è]  00E8  LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH GRAVE


GNU Emacsen 22 and 23 allow to re-open a *file* in a new encoding: C- 
x RET r <your choice> RET (Options menu -> Mule -> Set Coding Systems  
-> For Reverting This File Now). Once you saved the faultily looking  
buffer into a (temporary, growing) file (don't kill the buffer) you  
can revert it in a different representation of its internal bits and  
bytes.

of their project managers.
