I dropped Mule-UCS, it had other problems for me and didn't seem to work well -- the builtin UTF-8 support in Emacs 21 seems to be enough for what I need, and more robust as well -- especially after putting (set-coding-priority '(coding-category-utf-8)) in my .emacs so it detects Unicode files automagically. Of course, it would be good if Mule-UCS + Gnus worked better.
