quoted printable and not 8bits when sending mail/news

quoted printable and not 8bits when sending mail/news

[Uwe Brauer]

Hello

Sorry for the trivial question but how do I configure gnus such that
every outgoing message is mime coded with quoted printable instead of 
8bits
gnus-group-posting-charset-alist
tells me (message-this-is-mail nil nil)
that means always use qp not 8 bits, correct?

thanks

Yes, I think so.  But every MTA (Mail transfer agent) on the way may
transfer it to 8bit and vice versa.  What is the problem you are
trying to solve?

Bye, Reiner.

Thanks for your answer. Well it seemed that my message got encoded
with 8 bits instead of mime and somehow got corrupted. 

It seems however that the culprit is gmail (I use the smtp server of
gmail). When using their setting coding 
            Use default text encoding for outgoing messages
then that problem occurred. When I changed to 
            Use Unicode (UTF-8) encoding for outgoing messages

Then that problem disappeared, although I am using xemacs 21.4.19 no
mule!!!
