quimby: gnus.cvslog group and MIME charset

[Kai Großjohann]

I think that postings in gnus.cvslog are in the iso-2022-foo encoding
because of the ChangeLog entries.  WIBNI the postings included MIME
headers to that effect?

Yes...  But I don't think all the postings are in that charset.
Doesn't some files contain iso-8859-1 characters?

Hm?  I thought gnus.cvslog only had changelog entries?

Oh, I was thinking of the commmits list.

I'll fix the cvslog list...  What's the proper MIME charset?
iso-2022-er-something, I think...

M-x describe-coding-system on lisp/ChangeLog will tell you.  I think
it's iso-2022-7bit.

But that's the Emacs name for the character set, I think.  Is the
MIME charset really called the same thing?

Ok; I'll insert ISO-2022-JP...

Nope.

When I try to send the ChangeLog in Gnus, it is split into 7 parts:
iso-8859-1, iso-8859-4, iso-8859-1, euc-jp, iso-8859-1, iso-8859-2,
iso-8859-1.

I think the right choice is ISO-2022-JP though, or possibly
ISO-2022-JP-2.  Both are valid MIME charsets.
