article highlighting in pgnus-0.13

[John H Palmieri <John.H.Palmieri.2@nd.edu>]

GNU Emacs 20.3.1 (sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1, X toolkit) of Thu Aug 27 1998 on darwin

Hi,

Sometime between version 0.10 and 0.13 of pgnus, the highlighting of
some mail messages has changed.  For example, in the recent message to
the ding list from Bill White (reproduced below for your enjoyment),
the main text (starting "I've added gnus-article-decode-charset")
appears entirely in italics, as though it were a signature.  Is this
happening to anyone else?

I'm a bit confused by this.  If I give Emacs the command

  (add-hook 'gnus-article-display-hook 'gnus-article-highlight-signature)

then I get this bad italicizing.  If I don't give Emacs this command,
but while reading the article I hit `W H s' to run
gnus-article-highlight-signature, I *don't* get the bad italicizing.
Oddly enough, the signature is italized no matter what.  For your
information, at this point, gnus-article-display-hook is set to:

'(gnus-article-decode-charset
  gnus-article-decode-rfc1522
  gnus-article-hide-headers-if-wanted
  gnus-article-hide-boring-headers
  gnus-article-maybe-highlight)

This is all quite repeatable: I can use add-hook and remove-hook to
toggle the presence of gnus-article-highlight-signature, depending on
whether I want too much text in italics.

Any explanations?

Here's an example of a troublesome message, including the headers.
(Lars' response behaved the same way.)

I've added gnus-article-decode-charset to my
gnus-article-display-hook, which works great, and I'm using the
"fixed" font, which is a rather small, very pleasing sans-serif.

The Japanese characters below display as 3 empty boxes when I'm in the
fixed font. When I switch to the atrociously ugly standard fontset via
the menu item "Mule->Set Font/Fontset->Fontset->standard: 16-dot
medium", I can see the 3 J characters in their full glory.

Is it possible to see the J characters while using the "fixed" font?

I'm using:

- Pterodactyl Gnus v0.11

Thanks -

Bill
