Hi, I am using XEmacs with Mule-UCS v0.84. It works for encoding and decoding UTF-8 newsgroup names. Could you please apply the following patch? 2001-10-10 Katsumi Yamaoka * gnus-group.el (gnus-group-name-charset-group-alist): Use `find-coding-system' for XEmacs to check whether the coding-system `utf-8' is available.
