Hi,

here is a test message:

1) save it to file, say, test.txt
2) cat test.txt test.txt >> /var/spool/mail/$USER
  (more than one mail is important!)
3) receive the mail with gnus (i used nnmbox backend)
4) mark both messages using hash (#)
5) press C-M-d

then the summary buffer for these digests looks like:

   [   1: aa1@bbb.ccc         ] subj1
       <   1: aa1@bbb.ccc         > 
   [   1: Gr\201Э\201ъ Gott         ] Gr\201Э\201ъ Gott
       <   1: Gr\201Э\201ъ Gott         > 
   [   1: aa3@bbb.ccc         ] subj3
       <   1: aa3@bbb.ccc         > 

something is wrong with handling of multibyte buffers in gnus.
such problems appear quite regularly... :-(

It depends on how you save it to file.  There are coding system bugs
in gnus-output-to-file, gnus-output-to-rmail, and
gnus-output-to-mail. Therefore, please check whether test.txt contains
non-ascii characters.

I'd sent a patch to Lars 20 days ago. I hope it will be applied 0.96.

I get a much different summary buffer if I simply burst the digest with
Ctrl-D (gnus-summary-enter-digest-group).  This looks okay to me, given
that your example digest had three messages in it.  (I get correct
translation of those groovy multibyte characters too.)

   [   1:  Grüß Gott          ] Grüß Gott
   [   1:  aa                 ] subj1
   [   1:  aa                 ] subj3

If I follow Vladimir's recipe, I also get odd characters in the summary
buffer, although slightly different from his.  (I created a doc group with
'G f' pointing to the temp file.)  I even get the weirdness with just one
of the messages:
   [   1:  Gr                 ] Gr   Gott
   [   1:  aa                 ] subj1
   [   1:  aa                 ] subj3

The funniest thing is that I get the correct character after the \201 in
the Subject, but nothing in the "from" section.  

Gnus is doing weird things, though.  I opened and closed these Doc groups a
couple times.  Now when I try 'M-C-d' I get errors about selecting a
deleted buffer.  When I do plain old 'C-d', I am able to get one buffer
just fine.  When I use gnus-summary-enter-digest-group, it works correctly
every time.  What is different in gnus-summary-read-document?
