windows-1252 not displayed properly?

[Matthias Andree]

This article:

Newsgroups: de.comm.software.mailserver
Message-ID: <3F534BB1.7070400@com-gate.com>

contains Windows-1252. What do I need to do to get my CVS Gnus in Emacs
21.3.1 display the \200 aka € characters properly?

TIA,

This works for me (this posting should use UTF-8 to display the
following characters properly):

This isn't a "dumb quote" as the character set is declared properly as
"Windows-1252", there's nothing that needs "fixing" (or amendment)
except either of Gnus or Emacs to display proper standards-conformant
articles, so Reiner's code path of adding Windows-1252 is the right way
to go. I am under the impression that "dumb quotes" are when someone
sends Windows-1252, declaring iso-8859-1.

Thank you anyways.

Yes, of course you are right. Sorry for my misunderstanding.

I'm not sure, if the euro sign is in cp1252, but try:

(unless (coding-system-p 'cp1252)
  (codepage-setup 1252))
(unless (coding-system-p 'windows-1252)
  (define-coding-system-alias 'windows-1252 'cp1252))

Try

     (codepage-setup 1252)
     (define-coding-system-alias 'windows-1252 'cp1252)

or press W d (gnus-article-treat-dumbquotes)?

(Why isn't that codepage set up by default in Emacs, btw?  Performance
reasons?)

On GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i686-pc-cygwin, X toolkit), Gnus v5.10.3 I get
the follwoing backtrace when evaluating the first command. Is this new
in 21.3 or so?

It's new in CVS HEAD of Emacs (aka Emacs 21.3.50).

There are (at least) two possibilities to get `windows-1252' in Emacs
21.1-21.3, see
<URL:http://theotp1.physik.uni-ulm.de/~ste/comp/emacs/gnus/rs-windows-1252.el>
and the comments therein.

Bye, Reiner.

I used the first successfully. Thanks a lot!

Simon, thanks for your offered help, but it didn't work with my emacs
21.3.1 version (it doesn't know cp1252, so it chokes during init).

Sorry, I haven't used 21.3 for a while, so I forgot it didn't support
cp1252.
