nnslashdot: the dreaded \201 bug

[Kai Großjohann]

Whee, after this `MULE is evil' thread on gnu.emacs.help (or was it
comp.emacs) I kinda feel sheepish that the \201 bug is back again :-/

An nnslashdot From line:
        From: Jonas  berg <jonas@coyote.org>
(It's from the BBS-like communities group.)

I wonder where this comes from?  Can one do anything about it?  I
suspect that both W3 and Gnus are trying to do muleification or maybe
demuleification, leading to one \201 too many...

That's entirely possible.  I don't have w3 compiled up for Emacs, so I 
can't really try...

Is the message OK if you `C-u g' it?
