Subject: display of 8-bit characters
Date: Sat, 03 Aug 2002 12:54:04 GMT	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <vg6sf6hf.fsf@random.localnet.UnwiredUniverse.com> (raw)

I'm using xemacs with Oort v0.06 (yes, a bit old).  When I receive a message
that contains 8-bit characters like this one:

> > Well, then according to the gospel we get σωτήρ
> 
> So Richard is a Greek?
> 
> kai

the 8-bit characters display as escaped octal, so what I'm seeing here is:

> > Well, then according to the gospel we get Ï\203Ï\211Ï\204á½µÏ\201

What do I need to do to get gnus to display these characters as they are
intended to be depicted?

Thanks,

Derrell
