Here's a recurring problem: Sometimes I get email in non-English characters: sometimes Gnus shows a readable version, sometimes not (even though both cases sometimes arise with the same people). But the following little sequence lets me read: C-x h M-w C-x C-f ~/tmp/weird_mail.txt RET C-y C-x C-s C-x C-v RET I'm not sure why this behaves differently, or how to proceed properly: but I'm sure that it's not by binding this keyboard macro to `C-f'. :) cyp
