[Bug: 21.5-b25] Problems with latin-unity and VM

================================================================ Dear Bug Team! I encounter a problem with VM and a latin-unity change by Steven from last June. When I open the attached mbox, change it in some way, and try to save it, XEmacs asks me to select the coding system to resolve a coding system conflict. I.e., open the attached file with #'vm-visit-folder, type D (for delete) and S (for Save folder). Then the query appears. Of course, this is not sensible. VM mailboxes are set explicitly to coding-system binary, since VM handles the encodings itself. Changing a complete coding system for a VM mbox is not appropriate, as there might be many emails in different encodings in that mbox. (In the special case, there is even an attachment with an error message about software that is concerned with encodings! Changing the coding system during a save would make the error message unusable.) The culprit of that behaviour is the insertion of the following line with the when clause into latin-unity.el. --- DEL.latin-unity.el 2006-08-14 09:52:34.000000000 +0200 +++ latin-unity.el 2007-02-06 23:25:41.000000000 +0100 ＠＠ -484,7 +484,7 ＠＠ ;; #### actually we can do the whole charset here ;; precompute and set a property on the cs symbol (setq skipchars (concat skipchars (list ch))) - (when (= flag 0) (setq lsets (logior latin-unity-non-latin-bit-flag lsets))) + ;(when (= flag 0) (setq lsets (logior latin-unity-non-latin-bit-flag lsets))) (setq lsets (logior flag lsets))))) ;; The characters skipped here can't change asciisets (skip-chars-forward skipchars)))) The patch itself was http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.xemacs.patches/7749/match=m364iwq4yq... and the intent seemed to be that non-Latin charsets should be ignored. Actually, I must confess that I didn't try to understand the code -- but I'm wandering why it infers with a file that has only Latin chars and where the coding-system is binary. Stephen wrote in his patch: ``FWIW, if this is going to cause any problems, I would expect it to crop up with Cyrillic and Asian "wide" character sets.'' Well, neither Cyrillic nor Asian characters here, just Latin1 and Latin9 stuff. :-) Maybe you can see something that may help to resolve my problem. Best, Joachim ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux puma 2.6.13-15.8-smp #1 SMP Tue Feb 7 11:07:24 UTC 2006 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux ./configure '--prefix=/opt/xemacs' '--with-optimization' '--with-error-checking=none' '--with-ipv6-cname=no' '--with-pop' '--with-mule' '--with-athena=3d' XEmacs 21.5-b25 "eggplant" configured for `i686-pc-linux'.
