Because I'm not always using Emacs to process these files, and eradicating spurious \201 early slow down their multiplication at save time. > If there's some bug in Emacs or Gnus, please address it!

But I managed to solve the problems I had, and it might be a side effect of my ways of doing it. When I inspect a file and see six or more \201 in a row, before the accented letter one of them applies to, it hardly looks like sanity to me :-). I may stumble in my methods, of course, but that is a big stumble then, which I do not know how to avoid. -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
