My teases have mostly resulted from the fact that your mails insisted
on prefixing `ç' with \201 (in octal), which was both incomprehensible
to anything but MULE-ized Emacs, *and* ugly to behold.
When regarding XEmacs 20 solution of Mule features, there are two
distinct cases one should consider:
1) XEmacs compiled without Mule (which is, in fact, the default) --
similar to XEmacs 19.16 or GNU Emacs 19.34;
2) XEmacs compiled with Mule.
The fact that XEmacs allows you to do #1 is a Good Thing in and of
itself. However, the real comparison should be made between GNU Emacs
20 and case #2. Some people claim that XEmacs implementation of Mule,
while somewhat slower, is much cleaner than what GNU Emacs 20.2 has
done. As far as I can tell from watching the development, GNU Emacs
20.3 is getting to act very similar to XEmacs 20.
