Re: a couple of thoughts about codings in 21.4
Ar an dara lá is fiche de mí Iúil, scríobh Julian Bradfield:
[...] The reason is that VM fails to set binary coding system when
it
reads in the files for virtual folders (and in a couple of other places
too).
Ah; I never use virtual folders, which is why I didn’t see that. Thanks for
the report, I’ll try to keep an eye on the VM discussions to make sure any
patch gets applied.
Of course, once I'd fixed that, I then screwed myself again by
manually editing my mailfolder to fix up a corruption caused by AFS
locking failure, and forgetting to force binary coding...
So now I have a hook in insert-file-contents-pre-hook (which I never
knew about before, but which is saving my life) to detect mail files
and set binary coding.

Or 21.4 could just adopt my small simple patches to replace mule-ucs!
I can’t see that happening.
