I disagree. The problem is that the utf-16 coding systems have a mime-charset property. It happens that I just fixed the Gnus charset detection to cope, and I'm negotiating either to remove the property from those systems in Emacs or to add another one which says whether a coding system is appropriate for text parts. > A simple workaround is, to replace the b0rked function > `sort-coding-systems' by a correct one, see [2]. It isn't incorrect. My change is a kludge to account for the fact that utf-16 normally has higher priority than utf-8 and currently has a mime-charset defined. If you remove the latter, the issue goes away, and that change probably should go now.
