(require 'ucs-tables)

AFAIK (please correct me if it's wrong), it unifies iso-8859-*
charset's if possible. E.g. if I want to reply to a iso-8859-15
posting (quoting an EURO-symbol) and insert iso-8859-1-`Umlaut'
characters (like äöü), Gnus would produce utf-8 or a multi-part
posting.

Bye, Reiner.
