I don't do Mule, but I suspect it renders correctly as long as the
charset parameter is right (and Gnus gets things right).  But that
wasn't the point.

The point is that I cannot explain XEmacs/Mule that all the 8bit files 
I will want to load and save in the near future are latin2, and that
if it encounters chars in the appropriate subset of [128,256) range,
it should treat them as latin2, not latin1.  Currently I have to do
things like `C-u C-x C-f FILENAME RET iso-8859-2 RET'.

Also, I don't want to see the iso2022 (or whatever) coding on my saved 
files, *ever*.  If files have to be saved in a multicharset format, it 
should be implemented as Unicode, so that at least other
(non-Japanese) software has a chance of getting it right.
