I've used that configuration, and was neither able to send utf-8 news postings nor postings with mixed iso-8859-1 and iso-8859-15 content. After removing the gnus and mule-ucs Debian package, installing the CVS version of Oort Gnus, and the mule-ucs package from the XEmacs package management system, I can now unify latin1 and latin9, but still no lock with sending utf-8 mails. I've looked through the code a little, and did whatever seemed likely to help, but still I was unable to send utf-8 mails. Here's what I did: (require 'un-define) (latin-unity-install) (set-coding-priority-list '(utf-8)) (set-coding-category-system 'utf-8 'utf-8) (put-charset-property 'latin-iso-8859-1 'preferred-coding-system 'utf-8) ;(prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) ; doesn't work with XEmacs 21.4 (setq gnus-default-posting-charset 'utf-8) (setq gnus-group-charset-alist '(("de.alt.test" utf-8) (".*" iso-8859-1))) (setq gnus-group-posting-charset-alist '(("de.alt.test" utf-8 (utf-8)) (message-this-is-mail nil nil) (message-this-is-news nil t))) (setq mm-coding-system-priorities '(utf-8)) (put-charset-property 'iso-8859-1 'preferred-coding-system 'utf-8) I'm out of ideas here. Anybody ever *really* used utf-8 with Gnus and XEmacs? Andreas -- "In my eyes it is never a crime to steal knowledge. It is a good theft. The pirate of knowledge is a good pirate." (Michel Serres)
