Subject: bug#37901: 24.4; GNUS: gnus-group-customize breaks posting-style encoding
Date: Thu, 24 Oct 2019 14:34:51 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87o8y6l6lg.fsf@osv.gnss.ru> (raw)
Hello,
Even though I report this for emacs 24.4, the code that is suspect[1] is
still there in git:master:b3b7451, so it's likely the bug is not yet
fixed.
To reproduce the bug starting from "emacs -Q":
M-x gnus<ENTER>
G V test<ENTER>
G p
C-k
... type to put some non-ASCII text into 'posting-style', e.g.:
((posting-style
("From" "Сергей Органов <sorganov@gmail.com>")))
C-c C-c
G c
<TAB> <TAB> <ENTER> (or press <done> button with mouse)
G p
... and now I see:
((posting-style
("From" "\320\241\320\265\321\200\320\263\320\265\320\271 \320\236\321\200\320\263\320\260\320\275\320\276\320\262 <sorganov@gmail.com>")))
in the group parameters buffer, that is utterly broken.
[1] The suspect code is:
;; Encode values posting-style holds.
(dolist (style (cdr (assq 'posting-style params)))
(when (stringp (cadr style))
(setcdr style (list (encode-coding-string (cadr style) 'utf-8)))))
in gnus-group-customize-done, and it has matching chunk:
;; Decode values posting-style holds.
(dolist (style (cdr (assq 'posting-style values)))
(when (stringp (cadr style))
(setcdr style (list (decode-coding-string (cadr style) 'utf-8)))))
in gnus-group-customize, though the latter seems to be harmless.
