I have now given up on using the mime-charset property to search for coding systems because of the too many aliases going on. However, it seems that all the coding systems have aliases that correspond to MIME charset names. So, I am using that to find the right coding system. This has corrected the buffer name problem. However, OP reports that the frame title says "bad coding" or some such incantation, even though the buffer name shows up correctly inside Emacs. Perhaps it is a problem in the interface between Emacs and the OS? Cheers, Uday
