Hello
After I switched from Windows to Linux, I have some difficulties in
message mode which I think indicate bugs.
First of all flyspell: Flyspell and ispell work in every Emacs buffer
but not when I'm in message mode. There words containing Umlauts like
"über" aren't recognized. I can't even search for words containing
Umlauts, Emacs says "no match" as well as the word is definitely
there. In other buffers, this is no problem too.
I use a GTK-CVS-Head-Emacs from late November and todays CVS Gnus.
$LANG is set to en_US.ISO8859-15 language environment isn't set by me,
but if I chose ISO-latin-9 it doesn't make a difference.
An other strange thing: If I say C-h v buffer-file-coding-system in a
message buffer the value is emacs-mule-dos as well as I'm on a Unix
system. Could the reason be, that I use my old mail folders from
Windows?
BTW: Outgoing mails and news are encoded in UTF-8 as I say
(setq mm-coding-system-priorities '(mule-utf-8)) in .gnus. Wouldn't it
make much more sense to save drafts in Unicode, too?
I can fix the flyspell problem by saying
(require 'ispell)
(add-to-list 'ispell-local-dictionary-alist
'("ndeutsch8-15"
"[a-zA-Z\xf44\xf56\xf5c\xf5f\xf64\xf76\xf7c]"
"[^a-zA-Z\xf44\xf56\xf5c\xf5f\xf64\xf76\xf7c]"
"[']" t
("-C" "-d" "ndeutsch")
"~latin1" iso-8859-15))
in .gnus but this is only a dirty hack and doesn't fix the other
problems described above.

Did you ever realize how much text fits in eighty columns? If you now consider
that a signature usually consists of up to four lines, this gives you enough
space to spread a tremendous amount of information with your messages. So seize
this opportunity and don't waste your signature with bullshit nobody will read.

Cannot reproduce this here (with CVS-Head-Emacs of 2003-11-25 or
21.3). I get ...
,----
| = -- emacs-mule
| Emacs internal format used in buffer and string.
| [...]
|
| Type: 0 (Emacs internal multibyte form)
| EOL type: Automatic selection from:
| [emacs-mule-unix emacs-mule-dos emacs-mule-mac]

Dunno. Does it happen only when re-editing old "DOS-drafts" or
replying to old mail?

Probably this will break XEmacs (Cf. the changes around 2002-11-06.).
,----[ C-h v message-draft-coding-system RET ]
| message-draft-coding-system's value is emacs-mule
|
| Documentation:
| *Coding system to compose mail.
| If you'd like to make it possible to share draft files between XEmacs
| and Emacs, you may use `iso-2022-7bit' for this value at your own risk.
| Note that the coding-system `iso-2022-7bit' isn't suitable to all data.
|
| Defined in `message'.

Bye, Reiner.
