I had a similar problem last summer, and on the advice of this list, I now have: ;character set (setq message-default-charset `iso-8859-1) in my .gnus.el. This causes the question not to happen, and everything is fine as long as I want to use only Latin-1 characters. However, I now have the opposite problem. If I try to insert Polish characters, I get the message: Charsym aogonek not valid in current buffer What do you do once you have a default charset to use a non-default charset? -- Laura (mailto:lconrad@world.std.com , http://www.world.std.com/~lconrad/ ) (617) 661-8097 fax: (801) 365-6574 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA 02139
