Messages encoded with iso-2022-jp are displayed properly. Messages in euc-jp or sjis are displayed as backslashed octal. If I save one of these euc-jp or sjis messages with "O f" and visit the file, the encoding is properly recognized. Setting any of the C-x RET encoding functions has no effect on messages displayed by gnus. Variable gnus-group-charset-alist seems only to allow a single character set per matched group. This is with GNU Emacs 21.2.1, Oort gnus from cvs 2002-08-29, nnimap backend. Any ideas on how to enable encoding recognition when a message is pulled in from the (nnimap) backend?
