Subject: Incorrect character encoding in received messages
Date: Wed, 25 Dec 2019 19:13:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87pngc6zpa.fsf@pc-117-162.ovh.com> (raw)
Hi all,
I have recently been having trouble with Gnus decoding some e-mails as
ASCII when actually they should be decoded as unicode.
For instance, in French, the “à” char gets displayed as “\340”.
If I go to «edit mode» with 'gnus-summary-edit-article' and just do C-c
C-c (with no real edit), the message gets displayed correctly.
Another example with the "é" char which appears as 'i' in an HTML
message. Describe char gives me this:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >
> character: i (displayed as i) (codepoint 105, #o151, #x69) >
> charset: ascii (ASCII (ISO646 IRV)) >
> code point in charset: 0x69 >
> script: latin >
> syntax: w which means: word >

> name: LATIN SMALL LETTER I >
> general-category: Ll (Letter, Lowercase) >

And after 'gnus-summary-edit-article' followed by C-c C-c:

Any idea of what may be happening here?
I am on emacs master, but there is no difference with 26.3.
Thanks!
