How do I get Gnus to send it using latin-X, if possible, instead? I tried loading ucs-tables.el, and invoked unify-8859* and ucs-unify* in the message buffer, but it did nothing. Wouldn't it be nice if there were a section explaining this stuff in the manual? I'll write it when I get this to work the way I want. (I used to call `(prefer-coding-system 'latin-1)' after the statement above to get latin-1 preferred over utf-8 again, but I'd like to not do that. It seems as if I'd like to prefer utf-8 on reading but latin-1 on writing, not sure if that's possible.)
