I know Emacs20/MULE has joined "I know better than you what you want" Macintosh, but Gnus doesn't *have* to follow their example, you know. Use ("^\\(comp\\|rec\\|alt\\|......\\)\\>" iso-8859-1) instead, and current-language-environment or whatever for "unkown groups". It seems more likely that an "unknown group" which the user is interested in will be a local group with the user's normal charset than a latin-1 group. Except international mailinglist groups, of course... BTW, I don't know if gnus-group-post-charset-alist is a good thing, except to choose between several possible encodings of a multibyte message. If a user usually posts on his local "latin-2 newsgroups" but once in a while post to a "latin-1 newsgroup", messages to the latter will most likely contain latin-2 characters. Instead we need a recommended way for the user to tell Emacs to switch character set (font) - which Gnus can notice. -- Hallvard
