I think there are two problems:
1. UTF-16 seems to be broken in CVS Emacs. I get an error when I try to
save an ordinary file as UTF-16 -- so it's probably not Gnus related.
2. UTF-16 has higher priority than UTF-8 in CVS Emacs. I think we
should find a fix. Using UTF-16 in email is bad.
I'm not sure what's best:
* Ask the Emacs maintainers if the priority of UTF-8 and UTF-16 could be
swapped? or
* Initialize `mm-coding-system-priorities' to something like:
(when (fboundp 'sort-coding-systems)
(delq 'mule-utf-16-le
(delq 'mule-utf-16-be
(sort-coding-systems (coding-system-list t)))))
Ideas?
