I thought what we were trying to fix with `gnus-use-correct-string-widths' was the tendency of `format' under Emacs and XEmacs to return different lengths. Emacs: (length (format "%10s" "ÄãºÃ")) => 8 XEmacs: (length (format "%10s" "ÄãºÃ")) => 10 However, there may be other subtle issues in the gnus-spec code that introduces other problems that `gnus-use-correct-string-widths' fixes, but my feeling is that these problems are probably bugs in Gnus in the Emacs case... I'll do some testing. -- (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) larsi@gnus.org * Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen
