raw preview bug?

[Vladimir Volovich]

Hi,

C-u g (raw article preview) shows 8-bit characters not as octal
sequences, but as encoded characters.

as a result, when i preview an article in koi8-r and 8-bit CTE, the
buffer contains meaningless cyrillic letters (as if they were not in
koi8-r but in iso-8859-5).

and the buffer in the raw preview is not unibyte, but it should be
unibyte.

previously, all this worked properly. not it is broken.

Best,
v.

What do you mean by `previously' and by `now'?  What has changed?

'previously' means in some older versions of gnus (somewhere in oort
gnus 0.03). 'now' is in current version of gnus.

previously, raw previewing generated an unibyte buffer, where 8-bit
characters were shown as octal sequences like \302

now, 8-bit characters are showed wrong -- as arbitrarily encoded
according to the curent language environment, and not corresponding to
the actual charset of an article (which could be multipart and
multi-charset).

Best,
v.

Thanks.  I'm afraid I know nothing about the Mule-y parts of Gnus, so
I can't really comment on it.  But maybe one of the gurus knows?

I can see \337 in Kai's name and 8-bit characters in a koi-8r message,
probably because I use English as current-language-environment.
Anyway, I didn't see anything related changed since 0.03.
