Gnus is meant to create as many parts as necessary, on the fly. But sadly, I too get "Can't encode a part with several charsets." with the HELLO file. I'm still using 0.95, but I think it used to work in some earlier version. When I send simpler multi-charsets files, Gnus 0.95 usually does the proper thing. So there are some failing conditions in HELLO, yet the poor little me would need time investigate them (I do not understand Mule programming). It is true that in many cases, UTF-8 support would allow for a single MIME part for everything, indeed. In other cases, UTF-8 would not convey distinctions that Asian do want to make, or might not be convenient in some environments. We should not start thinking that UTF-8 solves everything. Too many of us have that strange belief, it is more hope than knowledge! :-) -- François Pinard http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~pinard
