Did you happen to turn off unify-8859-on-encoding-mode? (It's enabled
in Emacs 22 by default.) Did you try turning on
unify-8859-on-decoding-mode?

Have you submitted a bug report? Looking at the source code, it might
be useful to `M-x debug-on-entry RET ps-mule-show-warning RET' and
report what `e unprintable-charsets RET' shows when invoked in the
*Backtrace* buffer.
Also, that error message includes 4 characters that are outside ISO
8859-x: 0x80 (twice), 0x8A, and 0x9A. Your message was sent as:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=WINDOWS-1252; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

I don't know, but I suspect it is hard to do for all the platforms that
Emacs supports.

You'd be looking very far forward.
