emacs lisp is case sensitive (like Common Lisp, but unlike Common
Lisp, the emacs lisp reader doesn't upcase everything on read by
default). Therefore
(set-language-environment 'UTF-8)
is not the same as
(set-language-environment 'utf-8)
and I don't know whether
(set-language-environment 'UTF-8)
will do anything good at all.

In addition, you might add hooks to set the buffer encoding.
(defun mail-meat () (set-buffer-file-coding-system 'iso-8859-1))
(add-hook 'mail-setup-hook 'mail-meat)
