Thanks. So it appears to work.

Unfortunately, once _one_ problem is solved, the next one is waiting at
the door. ;-)

With my utf-8 settings for using gnus with gnome-terminal, I get a
complete mess when running emacs or gnus in a virtual text
console. Somehow I can't get it to use utf-8. If someone knows about a
way to change this or - alternatively - can tell me how to write an
entry in .emacs to switch between coding systems if emacs is used on a
text console in contrast to a terminal under X Window, please let me
know.

Something like:
if text console -> then use iso-8859-15
if X Window -> then use utf-8

Sorry, but I know close to nothing about lisp statements and such things.

Perhaps a hierarchy of coding systems (preferences of iso-8859-15, then
utf-8, then iso-8859-1 etc.) would also do... But I am clueless as to
how to achieve this.



Regards
Peter
