Latin-9 encoding in XEmacs

Latin-9 encoding in XEmacs

[Pekka Marjola]

Since latest XEmacs (in CVS) already supports Latin-9, when does Gnus
get support for that? I hacked mm-find-mime-charset-region to work
sort of (works partially), so something proper would be nice.

Gnus should support any charset that Emacs reports.  Doesn't
`find-coding-systems-region' (and friends) report Latin-9?

Probably not, because "supports" in this case means "there is a work in
progress towards Latin-9 and unity..."

Ok; then Gnus does not support Latin-9.

With latin-unity package for XEmacs, detect-coding-region reports
Latin-9. With some small kludges (mm-find-mime-charset-region has
Emacsisms), posting Latin-9 seems to work for posting, too.
