When I try to post a message using characters that don't appear in the ASCII charset, gnus correctly recognises this and encodes the message using Latin-3, which does contain the characters I am sending. However, I would prefer it to use utf-8. Is there any way of telling it which character set to prefer? I have no trouble reading messages that are encoded with unicode, the problem is just getting my posts to use that system. I am using the input method esperanto-postfix, and have tried setting the buffer encoding to UTF-8 but this makes no difference. Thanks in advance for any help you can suggest. Cheers, - Paul
