It probably told you it was Windows-1252 (I'm assuming the last 5 is a 
typo).

Windows-1252 is a super-set of ISO-8859-1, so any text that is correct 
ISO-8859-1 is also correct Windows-1252.  In addition, it's not uncommon 
to find text marked as ISO-8859-1 that in fact has characters that make 
it Windows-1252.
