I think it's usefil `C-c C-x 8' for your needs.
;; cf. File: mime-ui-en.info, Node: other MIME-Edit operations

Or you could edit "hyphen*2[[text/plain]]" tag
as like "hyphen*2[[text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1]]".

Hmm, Like this?

¡Hola!
Buenos días
¿Como está?

Así así.

¡Adios! ¡Chau! 
Hasta mañana.

If the file has ".txt" suffix, "What transfer encoding:" prompt shows
up in mini-buffer when I type `C-c C-x TAB(C-i)', type 8bit or
`TAB(C-i)' for compretion.

Or, you could set the variable `mime-file-types'.

Did you set `wl-mail-setup-hook'?

(add-hook 'wl-mail-setup-hook
	(lambda ()
	 (set-buffer-file-coding-system 'iso-8859-1-unix)))
