I think Werner misunderstand. As Handa-san said, encoding is not
a matter to display characters in a buffer.

Mew saves a buffer in Summary mode to a file as a cache. For this
file, 'ctext is used.

Note that I don't know the ctext implementation on Emacs can handle
windows-125x. I said, if it cannot, it's worth asking developers to
extend the ctext implementation to be able to handle windows-125x.
