Well, i just started "emacs --unibyte" with the following trivial
~/.emacs file (no ~/.gnus* files):

(set-default-font "fontset-standard")
(set-language-environment "Cyrillic-KOI8")
(load "files") ; partial bugfix for literal file visiting
(setq rfc2047-default-charset 'koi8-r)
(setq mm-default-coding-system 'koi8)
(setq gnus-select-method '(nntp "localhost"))
(setq gnus-secondary-select-methods '((nnmbox "")))

and buffers are unibyte "-:". But i'm not able to input/see russian
characters anymore! instead, i see latin1 (iso-8859-1) characters.
this is not with which i can live. :-) [and i tested again with my
"standard" .emacs running with --unibyte option, -- i got the same
result: all buffers were unibyte, but no russian characters]

And in general, is it good to run emacs with --unibyte? for example,
will japanese characters work?  if i preview japanese/chinese mails in
gnus running in "emacs --unibyte", i see only messy symbols.  imho,
gnus should work right without --unibyte too. and 0.36 worked fine,
--- things were broken in 0.38.

Best regards, vvv.
