Certainly, I'm using GNU Emacs 21.4.1 with gnus 5.10.7 and I want to read
a Swedish news feed called
http://www.dn.se/huvudnyheter-rss
Article names works fine but when a read the actual articles all åäö characters
are blanked out (which makes the text *very* difficult to read). When
looking in the gnus info pages I found the following note:

Unfortunately the lisp code suggested by Pascal Bourguignon

did solve my calamity. And yes, I have installed the "mule-ucs"
package (I use Ubuntu Breezy).
All advice on this matter is appreciated.
