The right answer in 2019 is to use UTF-8 as a charset, everywhere.  How
to convince message mode to do that, i don't know.

Presumably your locale is configured as $something.UTF-8 (fr_CA.UTF-8
perhaps?).  Maybe there's some other setting that would also be useful,
though.  hopefully someone with deeper emacs-fu can weigh in here.
