I still have lots of trouble when using gnus from within a terminal program, such as "gnome-terminal". I am able to write the euro sign and to see the euro sign in other people's posts. By the way: Is this an euro sign? € € € I also see Umlaute, äöü and other special characters: ß éèêñ I am able to write them, and hopefully they can be seen correctly by others. But your posts, Aidan, don't show up correctly here. You should see some of the problems in my quoting you: Apostrophes are not displayed as they should, instead I see them as question marks. Must be due to your using utf-8. But after searching google for hours, I feel completely lost. What could I do to see other people's posts correctly, regardless whether they use iso-8859-1, iso-8859-15 or utf-8 (those that appear to be most important to me). This is with Emacs 21.3.1 and Gnus 5.10.6 - running via emacs -nw, in a terminal window. When I use the "graphical" Emacs (instead of emacs -nw) your posts are all right, Aidan. So where could I look in order to solve that nasty problem? As I already wrote before, I have to set TERM=linux in order to be able to write the euro sign and Umlaute. I have set gnome-terminal to iso-8859-1 (and also to utf-8), but this is not enough to solve the issue. Please help me here, Aidan or some other expert like Reiner Steib. :-) many thanks Peter
