Because they not necessarily need to be encoded in UTF-8. There is a  
dozen of ISO Latin encodings, MS Windows has a few dozens others,  
there are proprietary encoding like NeXT, HP-Roman, MacRoman ... too.

Apply a different "coding system" on this buffer. Look at menu  
Options -> Mule -> Set Coding Systems. More in *info*. Look also at  
functions

	prefer-coding-system
	modify-coding-system-alist

and variables

	file-coding-system-alist
	file-name-coding-system

and at your environment variables.
