As Andrew says, this has nothing to do with emacs-devel and should be on gnu.emacs.help instead. Furthermore, your above 5 words do not constitute a "step by step" description of the problem. I use Gnus all the time with latin-1 in multibyte mode (like the majority of Gnus users, most likely) and it works great. Also, all such issues can only be meaningfully investigated if you provide your language settings (locale and stuff). M-x report-emacs-bug would do that for you. But I do recall a bug in Emacs-21.3 where Gnus uses utf-16 when it shouldn't. I don't think it applies in a latin-1 environment bug you might want to check archives of gnu.emacs.help (e.g. on groups.google.com) for it. Stefan
