That's the right thing to do, but as far as I know, Gnus should still DTRT in unibyte mode to the extent it can while unibyte is an advertised feature (unfortunately). [The only real advantage I can think of for unibyte mode is that multibyte may load a lot more fonts into an X server. There's been much mis- and dis-information about multibyte mode (which is the default for good reasons). Please ignore it. Note that there appear to be problems with XEmacs's implementation which lead to it defaulting to not providing multilingual features, but Emacs is different.] Currently `mm-multibyte-p' is defined to refer to the current buffer -- it was - previously ambiguous -- and is used in various places which should test the global value. I've made some comments in the code about that recently but haven't fixed them and suspect changes will cause short-term breakage in multibyte sessions due to confusions in the way coding conversion is done.
