Re: XEmacs/Gnus problem with charset=iso-8859-1, 8-bit

This is with 21.2.34, not 21.1.10, but: bash-2.04$ xemacs -q -vanilla -eval "(message \"%s\" buffer-file-coding-system)" -batch iso-2022-8 bash-2.04$ LANG=ja xemacs -q -vanilla -eval "(message \"%s\" buffer-file-coding-system)" -batch iso-2022-jp I suspect Mike runs with his env LANG set to Japanese. But this is still a bug that runs deeper than just setting the default right. It may be a problem with Gnus, I don't know. But somebody somewhere should be saving that MIME information and setting the b-f-c-s properly, or else the default should not be touched by the language environment picked up from the LANG variable. -- University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences Tel/fax: +81 (298) 53-5091 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ What are those straight lines for?
