Subject: Re: Character of Death locks one out of all newsgroups
Date: Sat, 03 Jan 2009 05:11:30 +0800 [thread overview]

It seems the problem is that the former is called, instead of the latter:
nnrss-mime-encode-string("Re: \x2563d\x2587c亲\x256cf经=
nnrss-mime-encode-string("Re: \x2563d\x2587c&#20146;\x256cf&#32463;&#21382; 3")
I.e., the correct rendering would have the ugly &s in it, as it is the
posters fault. Instead nnrss-check-group tries too hard: it first runs a
decoder over the message when it shouldn't. Otherwise the decoder gets
run twice, when it should only be run once.
So nnrss-mime-encode-string is OK, it was just being handed an overly
filtered string mangled somewhere by nnrss-check-group before it call
nnrss-mime-encode-string.
In any case, if one day there are really bad characters (and not just
ones created inside nnrss.el), "????" should be shown, and the error
caught, instead of locking one out of all newsgroups.
(Reiner, your reply got split into many mime parts (as would be expected.)
