If you mean why the hell does Gnus use ISO 2022-JP for 8-bit mail, all
I can say is, "Welcome to the wonderful world of MULE"!
Well, I don't think Gnus would tag it as ISO 2022-JP for no reason.
Perhaps the backtrace buffer is in the default coding system, which
happen to result in 2022-JP for some users? Perhaps XEmacs should
encode backtraces as binary instead of the default text coding system?
For me, backtrace buffers are ISO8, which I think is equally
incorrect.
