You use Emacs 20. This means that the Mule-UCS package can help you
with UTF-8 and probably also the other variants.
Maybe you also want to consider the oc-unicode package. It is based
on Mule-UCS but does more. I'm not sure which one is better.

Shouldn't be any reason that it isn't.

Relatively so, see <news:oul4riln6li.fsf@ID-97657.usr.dfncis.de> for
one explanation of how to. It's best to install in a separate
directory, so that you don't overwrite your existing Gnus
installation.

Oort is technically alpha software, i.e. it may, potentially be
unstable. It may do nasty things to your mail. In practice, I
haven't had any problems at all, but YMMV.

Really? What does Oort do with UTF-8? I searched for "utf" in the
lisp/ChangeLog file and the only things I could find are things which
require that Emacs supports UTF-8. (And some things about utf-7
which are not relevant here.)

Emacs 21 supports some part of Unicode, Emacs 20 with Mule-UCS also
supports some part, and Emacs 20 with oc-unicode yet another part.
I think Mule-UCS can also be used with Emacs 21, but I don't know any
specifics. Last I tried I had troubles in Gnus (double UTF-8
encoding). But this was a long time ago, so things might be
different now.

I hear that recent XEmacsen support the Mule-UCS package which might
help. Ben Wing is working on Unicode support in XEmacs, but I'm not
exactly sure of the status right now. Maybe it is already in the main
CVS code; but I don't know if there is a released version with this.
