iso-8859-2 charset and 8bit encoding in t-gnus

iso-8859-2 charset and 8bit encoding in t-gnus

[Piotr Dembiński]

hi,

I am trying to configure my emacs/gnus installation so that it fits
pl.* hierarchy usenet guidelines.

What I need is telling gnus to encode posts I send to groups in pl.*
and alt.pl.* hierarchies as iso-8859-2 charset, 8bit encoding in body
and iso-8859-2 charset, quoted-printable encoding in headers.  All
other posts should be encoded in ascii.

I tried to customize following variables:

    (default-mime-charset (quote iso-8859-2))
    
    (gnus-group-posting-charset-alist 
      (quote (("^\\(alt\\.\\)?pl\\..*$" iso-8859-2 (iso-8859-2)) 
      (message-this-is-mail nil (iso-8859-2)))))

After setting this, MIME charset of my posts is set to iso-8859-2, but
encoding is set to "quoted-printable", both in message headers and
message body.  

What should I do to make gnus encode my posts in 8bit?

The emacs I use is FSF Emacs version 21.2.1 from Debian GNU/Linux
3.0r1.  The version of t-gnus I use should be visible in header of
this post.  It had been also installed from Debian Woody package.


Thanks in advance for any tips,

  Peter

If you put:

   (set-language-environment "Polish")

in your .emacs, this should happen automatically (with a regular
Gnus).

Is there any particular reason you're using t-gnus?  That version is
primarily intended for Japanese users.  Try the normal Gnus instead if
it still doesn't work.
