washing broken QP: unencoded chars

washing broken QP: unencoded chars

[Vladimir Volovich]

Hi,

if i read some article with broken quoted-printable (e.g. mime headers
were broken somehow) then gnus correctly displays QP `as is'. But if i
try to `wash QP' (W q), i get 8-bit characters `unencoded', i.e. in
the form like `\301\324\302...'. I'd like gnus to use
mm-default-coding-system is this case for these characters.

	Best regards, -- Vladimir.

Yup.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.35.

Thanks in advance. And one more bug related to this. In the
nndraft:drafts group, if i try to edit a message (D e) which contains
8-bit characters, i get a buffer in which all 8-bit characters are
unencoded.

Note that in this case it may be not sufficient to assume what coding
system to use for 8-bit chars: e.g., one can have been editing a
mixed-language letter (e.g., russian+japanese) which was unfinished
and put into drafts group. In this case, as i understand, gnus should
store in drafts group the message with Content-Type and
Content-Transfer-Encoding headers, and when editing (D e) it should
prepare a buffer according to C-T and C-T-E, which can be arbitrarily
multilingual.

Yes.  But this will have to wait until Message has become MIMEified,
so we know what it is supposed to do, exactly.
