Those \201 in *Groups*, 0.05 vs. 0.06

Those \201 in *Groups*, 0.05 vs. 0.06

[Jonas Steverud]

I have a couple of mail groups that is named Attgöra.XYZ (Attgöra is
swedish for ToDo) and this is not a problem in 0.05. In 0.06, which I
just downloaded and installed, are those displayed
"Attg\201öra.XYZ". I have not changed any files between running 0.05
and installing 0.06. I started 0.05 to see what happend, if 0.06 has
written any \201 to e.g. .newsrc.eld, but not so. 0.05 displays my
*Group* buffer properly.

Bug or feature?

What kind of info do you need to debug this? (Sorry, but I have been
so disconnected from the development the last years that I don't think
I can find my way around Gnus' sources anylonger.)

GNU Emacs 21.1.2 (sparc-sun-solaris2.8, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

Oort Gnus v0.06

(Does anyone have a handy funktion that inserts the necessary
information? I.e. something that does "C-u M-x emacs-version" etc. for
you?)

I think gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist has been changed
recently.  I think you want to frob the variable to agree with the
encoding of the active file and with the names on disk.

Note, wasn't that. It is set to ((".*" . utf-8)) in both versions.
