Problem with latest snapshot

Problem with latest snapshot

[Gregory Chernov]

Hi, 

I've found couple of problems with latest snapshot
(gnus-CURRENT-20001217).

1. Symbol's function definition is void: charsetp
   I'm using xemacs without mule and charsetp function is not defined.
   For now I can live with simple workaround:
   (defun charsetp (&optional var) nil)


2. Strange problem with gnus-mime-save-part-and-strip.
   I used this function on some message with gif image
   and everything worked OK. Problems started when I
   tried to look on the results. 

   Opening message:

   [1. message/external-body; Jerusalem.gif] ...

   Clicking on this line:

   [1. message/external-body; Jerusalem.gif]

   [2. image/gif]...

   Then I've clicked couple of times on these lines
   closing and opening image. This messed up something.
   Now, I cannot reopen the message with g,
   cannot close group. I get error message:

   (wrong-type-argument listp "~/Jerusalem.gif")

   Lisp backtrace:

     mm-remove-part((name . "~/Jerusalem.gif"))

Fixed. But I am wondering whether set-buffer-multibyte is defined in
XEmacs w/o mule.

No, it's not, nor is enable-multibyte-characters (which generates a lot
of warnings when compiling).

        enable-multibyte-characters has existed in XEmacs for a while, but
died very quickly because it was there only for so-called "compatibility" with
GNU Emacs, but had no effect at all. This introduced a *lot* of bugs in
packages so we removed it. People interested in the corresponding discussion
can search for `enable-multibyte-characters' in the xemacs-beta archives.
