Okay, that might be the problem... because my system defaults to UTF-8,
I guess that there is some keyboard input encoding in emacs which uses
UTF-8.
Therefore if I enter "baz" in latin1 buffer, everything is okay, but
"foobar åäö" has some UTF-8 and it then forces buffer encoding to UTF-8...
Maybe I could change input encoding depending on file encoding... hmm ;)
Or maybe I try to figure out how to make menu items which force buffer
encoding and write the file.
