Usually this sort of thing happens if there is *even one* character
that is not part of the latin-1 encoding. For example, it happens to
me when saving certain web pages that use \240 as a space character.
Once I replace these extraneous codes, then when I visit the buffer
the accents are automatically displayed. You shouldn't have to
change any of the buffer local variables.
