decoding characters

[Laura Conrad <lconrad@world.std.com>]

I got an email which contained a table of TeX codings for characters,
and also the characters.  Most of them looked like I expected, but
there were 3 that displayed wrong in my gnus:

œ      \oe (displayed as \234)
Π     \OE (displayed as \214)
Ÿ      \"Y (displayed as \237)

I'm using:
xemacs*font: -etl-fixed-medium-r-normal--16-160-72-72-c-80-iso8859-1

in my Xdefaults file.

I also have (x-symbol-initialize) in my .emacs.

In the X-Symbol Grid, all the symbols display fine.  

When I just 'more' the mail file in and xterm, \oe and \OE are blank,
but \"y displays fine, using the same font as I have defined for
xemacs.

The relevant headers from the mail are:

X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.5 (Macintosh; I; PPC)
X-Accept-Language: en,pdf
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/mixed;
 boundary="------------4721D1F8D2DD403F6A49197F"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

I'm using a hot-off-the-press cvs gnus, updated this afternoon.

Incidentally, this list of characters would make a good test file, if
there's somewhere it could be put for that purpose.
