It looks like this: Fran\201Ã\201§ois or Fran<201><201>
ois Although the \201 are created, they are not saved. This is a bug nevertheless. My emacs-version is GNU Emacs 20.6.1 (i386-*-nt4.0.1381) The NT-Emacs Pre-compiled version. I can't compile it over here. Gnus v5.8.7 snapshot of May 17th. Please let me know how can I proceed tracing the bug. -- Yair Friedman.
