You mean it's your application producing rubbish.  Bugs where Mule
doesn't do what you tell it seem to be rather rare.  Of course the
software can be fixed, unlike the black propaganda merchants.

It would presumably be helpful to know where.  Perhaps it doesn't
happen with the normal Mule-UCS, for instance.

Even if it's not actually a bug in rms's terms, it's doubtless a
deficiency and is taken seriously.  Please make a bug report about
specific things that are missing.  [rms is currently agitating
particularly for doc on input methods, and after people to help.]
