Sure!  I should have said that I tried many ways /including/ the one
suggested by you.  When emacs asks me what coding system to use after
pressing C-x <RET> c, the default it suggests (in parentheses on the
modeline) is "mule-utf-8".  After opening it your way,
buffer-file-coding-system's value is raw-text-unix, nevertheless.

I will append the files.  As I don't know how to base64-encode it
explicitly and well, I will just append also a tar file containing the
three files.

Hmm, this only shows me, that file (the command) seems to be correct
with it's suggestions.  So it seems, emacs is not.
