Hi,
I noticed this when I forwarded a mail using Gnus. The problem
is that non-ASCII letters contained in the header of the original
mail will not be encoded properly. The rough outline of what
`mml-generate-mime-1' does then are:
・Insert the original mail (decoded) into a unibyte buffer
(that with-temp-buffer of mml.el-[line:619] generates).
・Detect the charset of the contents.
・Encode the contents by that detected charset.
・Insert the encoded contsnts into the other unibyte buffer
(that with-temp-buffer of mml.el-[line:612] generates).
・Run `mml-to-mime' that encodes the header of the original mail
using `mail-encode-encoded-word-buffer' (an alias to
`rfc2047-encode-message-header').
rfc2047's encoder expects human readable text, however, there
are encoded ones as described above. So, as for at least mail
forwarding, `mml-generate-mime-1' is seriously broken.
The current code looks like WIP to me. How about reverting it
to the emacs-25 version? Slightly modernized[1] one is attached.
[1] Don't use old compat functions and string-as-(multi|uni)byte.

I've reverted it to the emacs-25 version (with some modifications)
for a emergency fix.

Well, the function was reworked because it destroys files when
forwarding them, I seem to recall? So this seems like it's just
changing one bug for another...

OK, could you please re-revert and fix it? I did have no idea
to fix the bug in this construction...
(with-temp-buffer
(set-buffer-multibyte nil)
(insert
(with-temp-buffer ;; <- unibyte
(insert something) ;; <- multibyte
(encode-coding ...)
(buffer-string))))
Thanks.

Hm... why is this buffer unibyte here? And if it is, won't
(set-buffer-multibyte t) fix that?

Oops, for years I misunderstood that the multibyteness of a newly
created buffer defaults to that of the current buffer. But it's
wrong!

Ping! Any news on this issue? It currently indicated as blocking the
release of Emacs 26.1, so can we please expedite its resolution?
Thanks.

The version Lars modified was obviously broken at least for the
problem I brought up:

Oh, I forgot to write the bottom line, sorry. It happend when I
forward a message in which the header contains non-ASCII letters.
What I did then (revno 8130d91) was reverting Lars' change. I'm
using the current version with no problem so far. Though I don't
know what Lars tried to fix, I think it is not a stopper for the
next release as there seems to be no bug report brought up about
it. Lars?

I seem to have forgotten to tag my patch with the corresponding bug
report? Annoying. Anyway, the problem my patch fixed was dealing with
text files included in Message with mml tags -- they would (under some
circumstances; there was a test case in the original bug report) be
corrupted.
But my fix was obviously a mistake, since it resulted in pretty much all
multibyte buffers being mishandled when forwarding, so the original
problem will have to be fixed in a different way.
But I don't think this should be a release blocker.

Thanks, I'm unblocking it. Though I hope this will be fixed before
26.1 is out.

Yup. Does anybody happen to know what the original bug report number
is? I seem to remember that it had a nice test case that demonstrated
the problem... :-)

Not sure what you mean. Did you mean this:
https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=27141#5
I see no other bug number cited in the discussion of this one.

There is no other bug number mentioned, which is why I asked whether
someone (by chance) remembered the other bug number. It was a long
shot. :-)

I've looked around, and I can't find it. Without a test case, I don't
think we're going to get further on that problem, and this bug report is
about the bug my fix introduced, so I'm closing this bug report.
