The problem seems to be that when a Chinese group name is given, e.g. "好", `gnus-group-insert-group-line' ends up calling (decode-coding-string "好" 'utf-8) which gives gibberish. Could either the coding systems experts (i.e. Handa) or Gnus experts tell us why this is the wrong thing to do? I think the way to reproduce this is as follows: 1. save an empty file with a Chinese filename: C-x C-f 好 RET RET C-x C-s (I simply copied the character into the minibuffer from the HELLO file.) 2. go to the Gnus group buffer: M-x gnus RET 3. Open that file as a Gnus group: G f => Gnus group line is shown in Gibberish _______________________________________________ emacs-pretest-bug mailing list emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-pretest-bug
