Hi there,
I've just got a chance to investigate why text/html with non-ascii
characters was displayed incorrectly on Fedora 10's GNU Emacs.
Turns out gnus selects links to convert html to text, but then, when
it's fed an iso-8859-1 message encoded with e.g. quoted-printable, it
converts that to iso-8859-1, saves it in a file, and then runs links
-dump.
Unfortunately, elinks-0.12 (unlike 0.11) won't deal with ISO-8859-1
when LANG is *@utf-8, not even with -dump-charset set appropriately.
It seems to me that we try to convert stuff to the system charset
before running links -dump, but it's not making any chances
whatsoever: the file ends up in ISO-8859-1, and then we get output
back from links that's corrupted.
