"handle" includes reading and posting, i.e. followup to utf-8 articles. While GNU Emacs 21.3 (latest stable release) can handle at least the "Western European" part (Latin1, windows-1252) quite well, it seems that XEmacs 21.5 produces multipart/mixed posting (where some characters are incorrect [1]) or "windows-1252 labeled as Latin-1" (b) instead of utf-8. See the followups to my test articles in (): (a) Markus Kuhn's utf-8 demo file XEmacs produces multipart/mixed with 726 (sic!) parts here! (a1) (b) Latin-1 and windows-1252 w/ charset=windows-1252 XEmacs produces "windows-1252 labeled as Latin-1" (b1) (c) Latin-1 and windows-1252 w/ charset=utf-8 XEmacs produces multipart/mixed with 29 parts. (c1) (d) Latin-1 and some windows-1252 chars w/ charset=utf-8 XEmacs produces multipart/mixed with 20 parts. (d1) private mail from Steffen. Is Steffen Lorch's (he did the tests with XEmacs) and my assumption correct, that (Gnus with) XEmacs cannot post UTF-8 articles? If not, could you followup to the abovementioned articles in (with a full-quote of my text!) to prove me wrong and give the XEmacs Users some instructions for their setup? (IIRC, Steffen already has the latin-unity package installed.) Bye, Reiner.
