with pgnus 0.55 and 0.56 i'm unable to see text in russian

[Vladimir Volovich <vvv@vvv.vsu.ru>]

Hi,

as i reported some time before, pgnus 0.55 broke displaying of
articles in russian. 0.54 worked fine. here is what happens:

(1) in nnmbox, russian articles with C-T-E=8bit are displayed Ok

(2) in nnmbox, russian articles with C-T-E=QP are displayed buggy
    (\214<8-bit-char>)

(3) in nnmbox, russian multipart/alternative articles which have html
    part with C-T-E=QP (which are rendered with w3), are displayed Ok
    (i.e. russian characters look fine) except that background color
    is only at positions with letters; empty lines and space at the
    end of lines is not colored with background color, but this is
    another issue.

(4) in nntp newsgroups, i see latin1 instead of koi8-r 8-bit articles
    without C-T-E (regardless of setting of mm-default-coding-system
    to 'koi8)

Some observations: i tried to debug the function mm-display-inline;
and in pgnus-0.55 the text which finally appears in the *Article*
buffer gets corrupted when the function mm-encode-coding-region is
called (before that, the *Article* buffer already contains russian
text properly encoded, so this is the second encoding which breaks
things).

	Best regards, -- Vladimir.
