You can't, not with Emacs 21. In that version, the same character in
different character sets was treated as 2 different characters. Also,
the mule-utf-8 character set didn't include the Latin-1 characters.
The only suggestion I have is to try iso-latin-1-with-esc (you will
see above that this is one of the possibilities suggested by Emacs),
it should at least produce a Latin-1 encoded file, which will be
easier on you later.
You really need to upgrade your Emacs, if you want to use UTF-8.
