[0.73] Unable to send article written in iso-accents-mode.

[0.73] Unable to send article written in iso-accents-mode.

[Lloyd Zusman]

[ OOPS! ... I accidentally sent this out too early ... trying again ... ]

I'm using pgnus-0.73 under XEmacs 21.2-beta4.

I routinely switch in and out of `iso-accents-mode' to compose Spanish
email.  Up until version 0.73, I have been able to send this email
without any problems.

Now, however, before sending out my email, I get prompted with ...

   "Charset used in the article:"

However, no matter what I enter, including "iso-8859-1", I get the
following error ...

   Wrong type argument, symbolp "iso-8859-1"

I looked at the `mm-encode-body' function in `mm-bodies.el', and it
seems to require MULE in order for me to bypass this prompt for the
charset.  However, I have never used MULE and I know very little about
it, and I'm not sure if it even is possible for me to use it in
XEmacs.

Therefore, could someone give me a simple, step-by-step explanation of
what I need to do in order to once again be able to send out my email
composed in `iso-accents-mode'?

Furthermore, I'd like to not have to type the name a charset each and
every time I send out a piece of Spanish email.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Me too. But without iso-accent-mode and with pgnus-0.72 under XEmacs
21.2-beta8.

I'd like to know what I need to do in order to send out my email in
general with or without iso-accents-mode. Posting is okay and I never
used MULE either.

TIA,

Stefanie

The problem lies in mm-read-charset in mm-utils.el.  Lars already said 
this will be fixed in 0.74.

For now I use the the following hack as temporary solution until Lars
comes up with 0.74:

(defun mm-read-charset (prompt)
  "Return a charset."
  'iso-8859-1)
