Just nitpicking, but is there any reason to use ISO-8859-1 instead of
ISO-8859-15, which contains the € (Euro) sign? Unfortunately, they are
not treated identical because e.g. islower() should be true for 'ž' (184),
but not the respective character '¸' in ISO-8859-1. (Hmm, I wonder if this
mail comes across correctly in UTF-8).
