Hello,

I just built a copy of emacs23cvs as of today, and M-x gnus-version
reports 5.13. I have an imap group which is my sent-mails box on a gmail
account. The name is in french, and it prints :

       "nnimap+gmailML:[Gmail]/Messages envoy\351s"

Gnus seems to fail to handle it correctly and raise an error whenever it
tries to do any sort of operation on it. The trace follows :

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Internal error, tag 253 status BAD code nil text Invalid Arguments: Failed to parse UTF7 string")
  signal(error ("Internal error, tag 253 status BAD code nil text Invalid Arguments: Failed to parse UTF7 string"))
  error("Internal error, tag %s status %s code %s text %s" 253 BAD nil "Invalid Arguments: Failed to parse UTF7 string")
  imap-parse-response()
  imap-arrival-filter(#<process imap<1>> "253 BAD Invalid Arguments: Failed to parse UTF7 string
\n")
  accept-process-output(#<process imap<1>> 0 100)
  imap-wait-for-tag(253 nil)
  imap-send-command-wait("SELECT \"[Gmail]/Messages envoy&ACA-s\"")
  imap-mailbox-select-1("[Gmail]/Messages envoy&ACA-s" nil)
  imap-mailbox-select("[Gmail]/Messages envoyés")
  nnimap-possibly-change-group("[Gmail]/Messages envoyés" "gmailML")
  nnimap-request-update-info-internal("[Gmail]/Messages envoyés" nil "gmailML")
  nnimap-request-group("[Gmail]/Messages envoyés" "gmailML" nil)
  gnus-activate-group("nnimap+gmailML:[Gmail]/Messages envoyés" scan nil (nnimap "gmailML" (nnimap-authinfo-file "/home/paul/emacs/data/gnus/authinfo/gmailML") (nnimap-address "imap.gmail.com") (nnimap-server-port 993) (nnimap-stream ssl)))

  gnus-topic-get-new-news-this-topic(nil)

Gnus version of emacs22.2 (was 5.10 or 5.11 IIRC) did not print the
accent either, but was able to handle operations even so.
Thank you in advance for any information relative to this behaviour.

EDIT : I'm a lazy lazy boy, and I'm a bit ashamed, but I took the
shortest way. I went in the gmail parameters to switch language to
english, and now groups names does not contain any non-ascii character,
and naturaly everything now works ...

Please let me know if you want me to switch back in order to help
debugging.

Regards,
