tlug: forwarded message from Hajime Saitou

["Stephen J. Turnbull" <turnbull@example.com>]

Somebody asked about Japanese in Gnus; I don't know if this will
help.  I've got the rest of the thread if you want it, but it's mostly 
about corruption of the newsrc, and I don't think you got far enough
to worry about it :-)

Your right. Thanks for the tip.

gnus-test.el is ----------------------------------------

(set-file-coding-system-for-read 'japanese-euc)
(if (featurep 'mule) (set-language-environment 'japanese))
(load "mime-setup")
(setq gnus-nntp-server "t-server.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp")
(gnus)

--------------------------------------------------------

But no improvement. I'd been hoping that there would be a magic
s-expression that would make the problem go away but this doesn't seem
to be the case.

(if (featurep 'mule) (set-language-environment 'japanese))

Is certainly the one that is linked to the culprit as I don't have the 
problem when this line is commented out. However as I normally read
english newsgroups there isn't that much problem... 

I'll start with a bare bones version and report back if there is any
difference.

Do you if you get both ISO and EUC mixed or one or the other?


Thank you for your input. Especially Furutaka-san Petersen-san.
