I'm running no gnus 0.1 (although the same problem happened with 5.10.6) with emacs 21.2.1. I routinely receive mail whose sender and/or subject contains extended characters. When I'm using gnus at work on an x-windows system, everything is ok. These are displayed as cyrillic, chinese, special accents, or whatever. However, when I access my work account from home, my terminal type is a vt100. However, when I go into summary mode, all hell breaks loose. The extended characters are displayed as gibberish which in fact appear to look like control characters to my terminal so the whole display is screwed up. Even more puzzlingly -- when I deleted (or marked as read) such emails, the rest of my summary is still screwed up. Even after doing C-L, or even quitting gnus or emacs, when I come back to the summary of the folder in question -- all sorts of gibberish overlays the subject of some a particular email which has no extended characters. How can I tell gnus (or emacs in general) not to try to display extended characters when my terminal type is a vt100? Victor
