Because my name is Löfdahl and Wesley's software (and other software too, I have noticed) chose to represent it as L\\vfdahl (see his message). The "v" is an "ö" where the eighth bit has been zeroed, and I guess the two backslashes is an escape sequence that should tell you that that is what has happened. > But -- yes, of course. Just write a `gnus-article-display-hook' > function do translate it. :-) Yes, I might have to do that, but that would only be a stupid piece of code to fix just my problem. I guess someone who knows more about gnus and what different news/email software might do to from-addresses (that's where the "Löfdahl" came from in the first place) could do a more general fix. (But I am not demanding a fix - with the number of good things gnus already does with the messages I read, I thought this might already be in there somewhere.

As I tried to make apparent, I don't know very much about these things, but I think the only place I've seen it is when my last name has been corrupted in mail headers. Maybe one could write some code that scans the headers (or just the From header?) and replaces all \\<x> sequences to \\<sethighbit(x)>. But I guess one would like some safe-guard against false hits. Or maybe, as Per Abrahamsen pointed out, one should try to encourage people to get software that doesn't do the corrupting in the first place.

I've just upgraded charset.el to handle ISO646-SE. That means that if you are using TM, then you simply say: (setq gnus-newsgroup-default-charset-alist '(("swedish" . iso646-se))) then messages will be automatically displayed with the above interpretation in all groups whose name contains `swedish'. The a-list is indexed by regexps. And beware: although IANA calls the 8-bit character sets something like `ISO-8859-1', the 7-bit ones are called `ISO646-SE' (no dash after the `ISO'). You'll need: /anonymous@ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk:/pub/jec/programs/charset.tar.gz On the other hand, the \\v business is not a charset, but an encoding, so it is not in my area of competence :-).
