The \201's are back!

The \201's are back!

[Roland Mas]

Hello people,

I wanted to give Gnus a try under Emacs 21, but I stumbled on the
following bug: the names of the group topics are mangled with \201
characters whenever they contain Latin-1-but-non-ASCII characters (see
<URL:http://roland.mas.free.fr/2001_07_15_133303_shot.png> for a
screenshot).  I also have a topic name in kanji, and this one is
completely broken.

  Is it a known problem?  Is it worked on?  Is it a bug in my
non-released Emacs 21?  I can stay under Emacs 20 for now, but I'd
like to switch when E21 gets out for real :-)

Thanks,
Roland.

Forgot to mention: I'm using a recent Oort Gnus as Debian-packaged by
Manoj Srivastava, under GNU Emacs 20.7 (works) or 21.0.104 (works
not).

Actually, this feature is not fully implemented in Gnus.  In 20.7,
non-ascii characters in topic names are simply changed to
latin-8859-1.  But in 21.0, it is not.
