Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have translators to read other languages for them. Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org mailing list. In GNU Emacs 21.0.104.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars) of 2001-06-22 on tux configured using `configure --prefix /gnu' Important settings: value of $LC_ALL: nil value of $LC_COLLATE: C value of $LC_CTYPE: nil value of $LC_MESSAGES: nil value of $LC_MONETARY: nil value of $LC_NUMERIC: nil value of $LC_TIME: nil value of $LANG: de_DE.ISO-8859-1 locale-coding-system: iso-latin-1 default-enable-multibyte-characters: t Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: First, yes, I didn't set all the LC_ variable mentioned above. Nevertheless assuming "nil" is wrong; they are considered to inherit their values from LANG if not set separately. Please, try 'locale' on GNU/Linux. If I start Emacs 21pre under the locale LANG=de_DE.ISO-8859-15 and reply to a iso-8859-1 encoded message (containing umlaut letters), my reply message is arranged as a multipart message even if there's no ambiguity involved. My proposal: by default send out such a message UTF-8 encoded (maybe, ognus does this already -- Gnus coming with Emacs 21 should do the same, please). Please ask, if it isn't clear enough what I intend to say. Are there variables to control this behavior? Just say "yes" and I'll read again the manual ;) -- ke@suse.de (work) / keichwa@gmx.net (home): | http://www.suse.de/~ke/ | ,__o Free Translation Project: | _-\_<, http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/contrib/po/HTML/ | (*)/'(*)
