I fear, I've to do the same. Even with Emacs 20.4 the \201 "problem" isn't solved. Chaching an article which contains perfectly valid encoded From lines will add spurious \201s. Starting with --unibyte seems to "work". I'll update Pgnus and than do more tests. One of the manuals (the Emacs or the Gnus manual) should have a concise section about setting up Emacs if you want to use Gnus in the 8859 world. Emacs has a lengthy chapter about Mule but that's not what is needed (sorry that I've to say this). I didn't find an section about the modeline indicators. Often there are two dashes (= multibyte?), sometimes there is "-1" (= 8859-1?) but in Gnus or Message buffers I'm seeing "-=" before the ":". Other \201 bits are obviously "fixed" with Emacs 20.4 (e.g., umlauts in menue entries are valid). I'm not able to say anything about XEmacs which I never used seriously. -- Karl Eichwalder
