I can insert accented characters in Emacs buffers (current Emacs CVS
23.0.60, Cygwin build), but when I copy/paste them writing mails with
Thunderbird or in Cygwin console (dos-like as Cygwin.bat), some garbage
appears.
For example the 'è' character appears:
in Thunderbird and Cygwin console as ')^'
in Cygwin rxvt as '@(Q)^@B'
Instead it is fine on Cygwin xterm or urxvt.
Is this behaviour to be expected?
Can I adopt some 'counter-measure'?
Thanks,
Angelo.

I suggest to ask on the Cygwin list whether the Cygwin xterm and rxvt
support non-ASCII characters in X selections. (AFAIK, Cygwin does not
yet support any locale but the C locale.) If the Cygwin maintainers
say it should work, come back here and someone might find time to
investigate this.

The problem I described in [1], seems to be solved in recent CVS update.
I think this change
2008-03-27 Kenichi Handa <handa@ni.aist.go.jp>
* charset.c (Fdefine_charset_internal): Change the way of
registering charsets in Vcharset_order_list.
(syms_of_charset): Make the charset `eight-bit' supplementary.
makes the difference.
Perhaps, what I described is also related to the discussion [2].
Many thanks to the people that contributed to the solution.
Cheers,
Angelo.
