I'll try, but for now, i'd like to ask one question. ;-)
The mm-util.el from pgnus contains the following:
(defvar mm-mime-mule-charset-alist
'((us-ascii ascii)
(iso-8859-1 latin-iso8859-1)
(iso-8859-2 latin-iso8859-2)
(iso-8859-3 latin-iso8859-3)
(iso-8859-4 latin-iso8859-4)
(iso-8859-5 cyrillic-iso8859-5)
(koi8-r cyrillic-iso8859-5)
(iso-8859-6 arabic-iso8859-6)
(iso-8859-7 greek-iso8859-7)
[the rest skipped]
Note the presence of two lines corresponding to cyrillic-iso8859-5
mule charset:
(iso-8859-5 cyrillic-iso8859-5)
(koi8-r cyrillic-iso8859-5)
I wonder, does the first line override the second one??? I suppose
that if i'll remove the line
(iso-8859-5 cyrillic-iso8859-5)
then gnus will use koi8-r by befault (and btw koi8-r is a de-facto
standard for russian e-mail exchange anyway; the presence of two
mappings for one mule encoding does not seem useful anyway btw, --- is
it a bug?).
Best regards, -- Vladimir.

Stability itself is nothing else than a more sluggish motion.
