Thanks. Prob is - my "simple elisp" does a good job of determining the
charset of the message being viewed by gnus (run by
gnus-part-display-hook) - but when should I set the
message-default-charset? It is global (right?) and I don't want to
change it while I'm browsing my mail - I want to change it only when I
reply/follow up a particular message, and only for the duration of
that reply... Otherwise my message-default-charset would depend on
which particular message I last viewed, even if I happen to compose a
completely new message... any ideas? Or am I missing something here?
Thanks.
