Is this FW> problem still present in Gnus 5.8.5? No, there is no such a problem with current gnus, thanks! (i.e. you have fixed a bug). I'm able to get 8-bit chars correctly encoded according to the gnus-group-posting-charset-alist value. Gnus continues to get more and more powerful features. :-) Some features i'd like to see: * possibility to set up preferred charsets to encode message bodies on a per-group basis. Currently, i have a global setting (put-charset-property 'cyrillic-iso8859-5 'preferred-coding-system 'koi8-r) in my .emacs file; the mm-preferred-coding-system in mm-util.el extracts the info from charset properties, but this is done globally, -- not on a per group basis. I'd like to be able to send messages in, say, koi8-r to some groups and in windows-1251 in some other groups and in iso-8859-5 to other, etc. (all these are cyrillic charsets based on a single coding system). * possibility to specify that the preferred charset to encode a message body should be the same as the charset used to encode the message (or mime part) i'm replying to. (these two features could perhaps be configured via the same variable) * possibility to auto-select the charset for 8-bit chars in headers depending on the charset used for the message body (of for the first text/* mime part of the message). i.e. if the message body is in, say, windows-1251, then gnus should be able to treat 8-bit chars in headers as if they were in windows-1251 (but not simply get the charset from gnus-group-charset-alist on a per-group basis) Best regards, -- Vladimir.
