Hi,

my group buffer looks like this:

[ Gnus -- 0 ]
  [ misc -- 0 ]
        INBOX                                        * /     0
        Billing                                      * /     0
        Bugs                                         * /     0
        Archiv                                       * /     0
        Entwürfe                                  * /     0
        Gelöscht                                  * /     0
  ...

The last two folder names are "Entwürfe" and "Gelöscht" on my imap
account.

  (standard-display-european t) 

fixes this but leads to problems with file-encoding stuff.

I get the same thing with a group with the "ä" character in it.

It seems the culprit is this:

       (let ((gnus-tmp-decoded-group (gnus-group-name-decode
				      gnus-tmp-group group-name-charset)))
	 (eval gnus-group-line-format-spec)))

It adds a \201 to the character for me.  At this point,
`group-name-charset' is `iso-8859-1' and
the group name is "nnml:Kvinnofängelset".

(gnus-group-name-decode "nnml:Kvinnofängelset" 'iso-8859-1)
=> "nnml:Kvinnof\x81ängelset"

Which can't be right.

(I'm getting an awful sense of deja vu here.  Again!)
