Subject: weirdness wrt file-coding
Date: 09 Dec 1998 14:26:15 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ulnkh4fbc.fsf@ese-metz.fr> (raw)


Hi,

Using xemacs-21.0b57 and  xemacs-21.2b5 (NT, compiled natively), I can
only    report weirdness  due    to incorrect  file   type guessing or
conversion in   gnus.  I'm using   pgnus-0.65. The file   retrieved by
movemail is put into ~/.gnus-crash-box  and parsed in the buffer named
" *nnmail incoming*". 

But   the parsing  fails   before  the end   of    the file  (function
nnmail-process-babyl-mail-format, re-search-forward   returns     nil,
delete-region is then called with 0 :-( ).

Switching to the  buffer shows that there are  '^M' at the end of each
line.  Toggling the   file   coding to  'noconv' manually,  and   then
rewriting .gnus-crash-box enables to read  the messages correctly next
time gnus is run.

It acts  like if the  file was read in text  mode, but  the conversion
binary -> text  failed, and the specified  file-coding is text  anyway.

At first, I thought it was apel playing with file-coding, and that
just removing 'tm' use from gnus-setup would do the trick. But
unfortunately, there is a deeper problem.
