Re: Different (buffer-file-)coding-systems for different regions of one buffer? (for Rmail MIME)

[Richard Stallman]

    Perhaps not.  The thread started with a proposal for a coding system
    that would present Rmail with an already decoded buffer, so that the
    process of dealing with multiple coding systems and the like would be
    transparent to Rmail.  And I've been assuming that.

I thought that idea had been pretty much proved to be unusable, and
then someone (was it you?) brought up the alternative of using two
buffers.  So I have been talking about how to do that.
