It does seem that that function trashes text props. Why? Here's a segment of the discussion engendered by my original bug report: | From: Kenichi Handa | Subject: Re: Text Properties in decoded regions (correction) | To: rms@gnu.org | CC: md5i@cs.cmu.edu | Date: Thu, 27 Aug 1998 14:35:01 +0900 | | Richard Stallman writes: | > I asked Handa what he thinks we should do. | > In principle, decode-encoding-region should preserve text properties, | > but if that is hard to do, maybe it should delete them. | | It's a rather hard task to preserve text properties with | decode-coding-region and encode-coding-region.

(BTW, is there a good way in Gnus to do forwards of other articles in replies to other articles, or cites from multiple articles?) -- Michael Duggan (md5i@cs.cmu.edu) .
