I don't see quite what's confusing if I've understood things
correctly, which I probably haven't. :-)
A MULE "coding system" is the same thing as a MIME "charset".
Isn't it?
If not, I can understand the confusion.
(Well, to be totally precise, MULE "coding systems" are a superset of
MIME "charsets", since you may consider, say, gzip to be a coding
system, but then you have to decode coding systems more than once,
which is something the MULE in Emacs 20.3 isn't well-disposed to
doing, so in practice they are the same.)
