accessing Gmail non-latin folders with nnimap

accessing Gmail non-latin folders with nnimap

[Daiki Ueno]

Hello,

I have seen a problem you reported, and IIUC the problem has never been
resolved.  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.gnus.general/67144

Today, I looked into the code and perhaps found a solution:

(setq gnus-ignored-newsgroups "")

(defadvice utf7-encode
  (before fix-multibyteness-for-gnus activate)
  (ad-set-arg 0 (string-as-multibyte (string-to-unibyte (ad-get-arg 0)))))

With this setting, I can list/read groups which look like
"[Gmail]/送信済みメール" (in Japanese).

Hope this helps,

Thanks for this solution. I also experience this behaviour with French
accents, also in Gmail accessed through nnimap.

Is it a bug in utf7.el or in Gmail?  Could you please provide a patch?

Bye, Reiner.

Neither.  This is a bug of Gnus' multibyteness handling as usual.  Sigh.

Sorry, I have no time to do that.  Since the Gnus code is full of such
things, I guess there are probably dependencies of the buggy code.
