Subject: Unification in Gnus?
Date: Tue, 11 Dec 2001 16:39:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <vafpu5lwyta.fsf@INBOX.auto.gnus.tok.lucy.cs.uni-dortmund.de> (raw)

Since a couple of days ago, the Emacs 21 CVS contains Dave Love's
utilities for unification of iso-8859 charsets.  This is Good Stuff.

However, if I compose a message with a Latin-1 ä and a Latin-9 € in
it, then the outgoing message with have charset=macintosh, which
strikes me as a suboptimal value.  Suggestions?

[time passes]

Oh, now I see that the Latin-9 character is not Latin-9 after all:

/----
|   character: € (01235114, 342604, 0x53a4c)
|     charset: mule-unicode-0100-24ff
|              (Unicode characters of the range U+0100..U+24FF.)
|  code point: 116 76
|      syntax: w 	which means: word
|    category:
| buffer code: 0x9C 0xF4 0xF4 0xCC
|   file code: not encodable by coding system iso-latin-9
|        font: -Misc-Fixed-Medium-R-SemiCondensed--13-120-75-75-C-60-ISO10646-1
| 
| [back]
\----

So it's been converted to mule-unicode.  Hm.  Hmmmm...

I still don't understand this.
