Illegible text checking?

Illegible text checking?

[Romain FRANCOISE]

Hi,

the following change:

2002-03-01  ShengHuo ZHU  <zsh@cs.rochester.edu>

        * message.el (message-fix-before-sending): Check illegible text.

breaks something and prevents users from sending messages containing
accentuated characters, complaining about illegible text found in the
buffer. Why exactly was this introduced?

It is to prevent users to send eight bit control characters. It should
not complain accentuated characters, at least, it didn't when I send
one. Could you post what returns when pressing `C-u C-x =' on an
accentuated characters in the message buffer?

Test: ä

I probably won't be able to send this message, expect to see dots
instead of the accentuated a. :-)

I got this. 

  character: ä (04344, 2276, 0x8e4)

It seems you turn off multibyte. What is (mm-multibyte-p) in the
message buffer?

It was nil, and looking at my configuration, I found that I had a 

(standard-display-european t)

which is now marked as obsolete. I replaced it with

(set-language-environment 'Latin-1)

and Gnus doesn't complain anymore, but now, my mails are sent as QP, and
not 8bit. How do I get 8bit back?

Thanks for the help, ShengHuo!

You can customize gnus-group-posting-charset-alist or
mm-body-charset-encoding-alist.

When I try to send an email or news article containing the Euro synbol,
gnus comes back with an Illegible characters and allowes to redit,
replaced with dots etc but won't let me post it. I have added:
; use iso-8859-15 charset by default, to let Gnus recognize the
; euro symbol
(defconst gnus-default-posting-charset 'iso-8859-15)
(defconst mm-body-charset-encoding-alist '((iso-8859-15 . 8bit)))
(defconst message-default-charset 'iso-8859-15)
 
To my .gnus.el and rebyte compiled it but still the same.

Ah, this indeed appears to be the same problem as the previous poster
had.  So please try ShengHuo's suggestion.

I sort of sorted it. It turned out that whilst I had compiled the
section that I showed into the .gnus.el file, I had tried it unde the
same emacs session. This monring I went to send an email that required
the Euro symbol and no warning, although I have a feeling it may have
gone out as quote-printable

Illegible text checking?

[Romain FRANCOISE]

Hi,

the following change:

2002-03-01  ShengHuo ZHU  <zsh@cs.rochester.edu>

        * message.el (message-fix-before-sending): Check illegible text.

breaks something and prevents users from sending messages containing
accentuated characters, complaining about illegible text found in the
buffer. Why exactly was this introduced?
