pgnus and ntemacs 20.3.1

[Lars Balker Rasmussen]

Are anyone using this combination?

I just tried installing this, but am having problems.

I have put this in my _emacs:
	(standard-display-european t)
	(require 'latin-1)
	(load-library "my-iso-insert") ; new iso-insert.el
which allows me to use the special characters on my Danish keyboard in
most buffers.

However, in Message-buffers, I can't seem to type Danish characters
at all! (the keys ae, oe, aa give fxe, as does C-x 8 {e,a,/o}.)

This might have something to do with the fact that the buffer is
marked '-\' instead of '1:'?

If people use unencoded latin-1 characters in headers, the Summary and
Article buffers will represent them without the highbit, e.g. fxe for
the Danish letters.

If articles don't contain mime-headers, even though they contain
latin-1 characters, they will be shown without the highbit.

Well, it seems it's only the displaying of the glyphs I'm having
problems with.  Any ideas?

I think it's standard-display-european, which

    Normally, this function turns off `enable-multibyte-characters'
    for subsequently created Emacs buffers, and for `*scratch*.
    This is because users who call this function
    probably want to edit European characters in single-byte mode.

But that's just a guess....

Remove these, and use

	(set-language-environment "Latin-1")

instead.

Yes, I tried that first, which is even worse.  Then I went through
ntemacs' mailinglist archive from the last month, and found the "old"
approach used above recommended for fixing inputting accented letters.

For the record, set-language-environment causes 
	From: svar_til@usa.net (=?ISO-8859-1?Q?Martin_Herl=F8w?=)
	Subject: =?ISO-8859-1?Q?Priser_m.m_1049_Officiel_respons_=F8nskes?=
to show as 
	R  [  15: Martin Herlxw       ] Priser m.m 1049 Officiel respons xnskes
in the Summary buffer, and the same in the Article buffer.

Articles with unencoded iso-latin-1 characters will show as 
	[...] Re: Priser m.m 1049 Officiel respons \370nskes
in both buffers.

Articles with 
	Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
	Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
shows as 
	1) G\346lder der s\370ndagstakst p\345 helligdage?
and articles without any Content-* headers are the same.

This message-buffer still has -\ as "buffer-type", and I can't see the
accented characters I input (no highbit):

æøå (ae oe aa keys), naîve (hat accent key, `i'), façade (`C-x 8 , c')

Frustrated,
