Encoding for one particular article

Encoding for one particular article

[Torsten Bronger]

Hallöchen!

How can I set the encoding of one article that I write or read?

If I read a posting in an obviously wrong encoding, but I know the
right one, how can I set it?

And if I have to deal with a newsreader at the other end of the line
that is incapable of my UTF-8, how can I post an article in Latin-9?
Thanks!

Tschö,
Torsten.

,----[ <f1> v gnus-summary-show-article-charset-alist RET ]

Then, use `8 g' to force utf-8 decoding:

You may also set `mm-coding-system-priorities' on a per-group basis or
for certain hierarchies:

| 	("^fr\\."
| 	 (mm-coding-system-priorities '(iso-8859-15 iso-8859-1 utf-8)))
| 	("^fj\\." ;; Japan?
| 	 (mm-coding-system-priorities '(shift_jis iso-2022-jp utf-8)))
| 	("^cz\\."
| 	 (mm-coding-system-priorities '(iso-8859-2 utf-8)))))
`----

Bye, Reiner.

For the fj hierarchy, it will be better to use the default value
of the case where Gnus runs in the Japanese language environment.
That is:

	("^fj\\." ;; Japan
	 (mm-coding-system-priorities
	  '(iso-8859-1 iso-2022-jp iso-2022-jp-2 shift_jis utf-8)))

You all might not write Japanese articles, though. ;-)

Exactly.  :-)  Thanks for the correction.

In the article quoted above, I used the suggestions from the previous
poster[1].  It was only to demonstrate that Gnus allows the
specification of the outgoing charset on a hierarchical basis.

Bye, Reiner.

[1] One of those "Is there any newsreader that supports ...?"
    questions, where (of course[2]) the answer always is "Gnus".
