I Reiner> wonder why people have the need to specify the charset in Reiner> the first place. I've probably misspoken. The problem that I run into regularly (not always, but a few times a month) is that when I gnus-mime-save-part-and-strip, I get a message edit buffer after the part is saved. It looks OK, so I C-c C-c to save it. Then Gnus gets confused about the charset of the text content of the message and misencodes it. The net result is that the message is unreadable. Any attempt to edit the message using "e" gives the same (or worse) results. I don't have a test case to hand, so I can't be more precise. -- School of Systems and Information Engineering http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
