Hi!

gnus seems to open mbox (file for nnmbox backend) in multibyte mode.
i just thought that this could be the reason for problems which i
described earlier (certain character combinations in the range
0x80-0x9f which happen to come with some mail messages choke emacs and
this results in huge delays and incorrect gnus behavior).

i think that a very probably fix to it would be to open mbox file in
unibyte mode.

nevertheless, the original problem should be solved too (i'll try to
prepare a bug report soon and will send it to Mr. Handa).

Best,
v.
