That’s a bug that some changes I made tickled, according to this mail: http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200505/msg00121.html But I’ve looked into this some more, and, well, the design of that code is hugely broken--loads of programming using and endorsing underdocumented dynamic binding, crazy return values--and I haven’t seen an example where setting mm-coding-system-priorities appropriately is broken. I’ll put together a patch removing support for newsgroup-specific character sets if this sounds reasonable. If not, I’ll look into adding support for binding message-posting-charset around calls to mm-find-charset-region, which should re-add support for the charset-per-newsgroup approach. -- Russian has no phoneme that corresponds directly to Germanic /h/. As a result, for a not-insignificant number of people, the Second World War involved the Soviet Union defeating Адольф Гитлер, “Adolf Gitler.”
