I'm running emacs-version "21.5 (beta28) \"fuki\" b82fdf7305ee+ XEmacs Lucid". There are strange things going on in the summary buffer in gnus, and elsewhere as well. I get similar experience in the group- and article-buffers in gnus, and in riece Channels- and Others-buffer and I suspect others as well. I have (set-coding-priority-list '(utf-8)), if that matters. The summary buffer is in UTF8 anyway according to the modeline. I'm running under LANG=sv_SE.UTF-8 What do you say about this?

- If I type {C-h k ä} (adiaeresis) I get: adiaeresis runs `undefined' `undefined' is an interactive compiled Lisp function -- loaded from "/src/xemacs/beta/lisp/keymap.elc" (undefined) Documentation: not documented Invoked with: Á This seem OK although I would have expected Invoked by to suggest the char ä. (In fact that doesn't work even in the *scratch* buffer except that there Invoked with reports !, exclamation, for most characters except digits which are invoked by 0!?) But with {C-h k ö} (odiaeresis) I get: ; runs `bbdb/gnus-edit-notes' `bbdb/gnus-edit-notes' is an interactive compiled Lisp function -- loaded from "bbdb-gnus" (bbdb/gnus-edit-notes &optional ARG) Documentation: Edit the notes field or (with a prefix arg) a user-defined field of the BBDB record corresponding to the sender of this message. Invoked with: ; Now invoked with seems better and it is fine that ; is bound to bbdb/gnus-edit-notes, that is just what I want, but how did ; got associated with ö? Well ö is placed on the same position as ; is on an English keyboard. So when typing the char ä it is interpreted correctly as adiaeresis but ö is interpreted as ; ??? - Moving over to searching this is changed. If I type {C-s ö}, search for odiaeresis, the search is for ;. But when I type {C-s ä}, search for adiaeresis, the search is now for ', single quote. As you would expect (or?) the key ä is where ', single quote, is on an English keyboard. I have no problems with entering and searching for these, adiaeresis and odiaeresis, chars in a text buffer. That would hardly have gone unnoticed for long. Yours -- %% Mats
