Oh, and you need to write a nnrefrigerator backend...

Warning

[Shaun Lipscombe]

When 'q''ing the Summary buffer I am presented (occasionaly) with a
Warning buffer the contents of which are displayed here:

The target text contains the following non ASCII characters(s):
	latin-iso8859-1: e
These can't be encoded safely by the following safe coding systems:
	iso-8859-1 iso-2022-7bit iso2022-7bit-lock iso2022-8bit-ss2
	emacs-mule raw-text iso-2022-7bit-ss2 compound-text

The mini-buffer states:

Select coding system (default iso-8859-1):

To which I just hit enter.  What is this, have I screwed something up?

This has been asked many times.  The question comes up because emacs 20
knows how to deal with all sorts of character coding systems and that
character exists somewhere (maybe in a subject field).  

I have yet to see a decent explanation of /why/ we can't just make it stop
asking about these things.  For what it's worth, this is not only a Gnus
problem.  When I first started with emacs 20 (a few months ago), I got this
warning several times with files that I thought were pretty boring text.  I
worried that emacs was going to start doing this all the time, but it now
happens infrequently.

I am just glad that I haven't stuffed Emacs, because I have been
playing with it alot recently :-)

I think this has been fixed in Gnus 5.6.
