Re: XEmacs 21.5, Gnus and charsets

However, my patch was committed before release of 21.5.7 on 2002-07-02 (possibly within the day), so that's too early unless you had a stale CVS tree lying around. Seems unlikely.

At least for Latin-1 this Frank> was already a _severe_ bug. Maybe it's this one, then: 2002-05-28 Katsumi Yamaoka <yamaoka(a)jpl.org&gt; * mule/japan-util.el: Use `characterp' instead of `integerp' while defining char properties for katakana. * mule/mule-category.el: Clear the category table before defining categories for `predefined-category-list'. * mule/mule-cmds.el (finish-set-language-environment): Fit the charsets preferences in unicode conversions for the language environment. Suggested by ARISAWA Akihiro <ari(a)mbf.sphere.ne.jp&gt;. Despite the date it was probably committed on 2002-08-02, and definitely after the release of 21.5.8 on 2002-07-27. There were very few Mule-related changes in the period you focus on. If it isn't that one, it will take serious debugging. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN My nostalgia for Icon makes me forget about any of the bad things.
