Yes, that does make sense, because Latin Unity doesn=E2=80=99t yet work with non-ISO, non-Unicode character sets. (If it ever will.) Right, given that, the patch can=E2=80=99t solve the general case. You shou= ld probably leave it out of the trunk until Latin Unity gets support for the East Asian character sets, if it ever does. (And it might need a name change at that point :-) Shame, because it did eliminate the most annoying thing I find about Gnus on Mule; I _never_ want to send messages as iso-2022-jp, nor as multipart messages split by character set.=20=20 > Although the default order of `mm-mime-mule-charset-alist' is just > suitable for Japanese messages and we don't need to modify > `mm-coding-system-priorities' in Japan, we will need to much improve it. > I will study your patch and look for the way to incorporate the > latin-unity feature in the latest mm-util.el. Okay. Note that in Western Europe, the right thing to do is probably to send a message in iso-8859-1 if its contents fit into that character set, iso-8859-15 if it has the Euro sign, and UTF-8 if it has anything more obscure than that.
