Broken by the mail program of my mail partner. His mail program treats
all mails as iso-8859-1 resp. windows-1252 encoded and while he answers
the encoding mixture happens.

I think it isn't worth the trouble (to many false positives?). If you
want to try: If an iso-8859-1 labeled text contains escapes, most
probably it is windows-1252 encoded; if there are still escapes and the
text is quoted, try to treat it as UTF-8.
