Hi,
Further to my message of the 26th, lvmzx4a1vb.fsf@ns5.nestdesign.com , I’ve
made a patch to mm-util.el that takes advantage of Stephen Turnbull’s Latin
Unity to remap messages’ characters and to take notice of the
mm-coding-system-priorities variable under XEmacs.
With this patch applied, and with latin-unity available,
(setq mm-coding-system-priorities '(iso-8859-1 iso-8859-15 utf-8))
in your init file tells Gnus to post in Latin 1 if the message fits into
Latin 1--including if, say, Latin 2 U WITH DIAERESIS is used--iso-8859-15 if
the message fits into that but not Latin 1, and UTF-8 if neither of those
things is true. This is much preferable to the current behaviour.
Tested under 21.4, 21.5 and the stable GNU Emacs. If you have trouble
applying the patch from a news article, there’s a plain text version
available at
http://parhasard.net/mm-util-xemacs-coding-system-priorities.diff .
What do I have to do get this included in the standard Gnus?
Best regards,
- Aidan
