`standard-display-european' is obsolete (IIRC at least since Emacs
20.7).   You should probably use (set-language-environment "Latin-1")
or omit it completely (Emacs does the right thing when your locales
are set up correctly).

`standard-display-european' leads to incorrect behavior of Gnus.  Is
there a good reason to keep this function in Emacs 21.4?
