I do not know if the issue I describe below is related to the thread I
am posting this under (how encoding is handled under revert-buffer).
I have seen the following behavior in both BBDB and RMAIL (with recent
CVS Emacs). I am not sure it is repeatable every time. I will
descrive the RMAIL situation, BBDB is similar...
I have Emacs running with RMAIL. Several messages are in various
non-ASCII encodings (UTF-8, latin-1, koi8-r, for example). They are
all displayed proprerly. I read mail in an another instance of
Emacs. Now I return to this one, RMAIL asks if it should re-read the
file. I say "yes". At this point (some of) the non-ASCII msgs are
displayed as \231 gibberish. My first reaction was that RMAIL managed
to mangle the mailbox, but this is not the case: Killing the buffer
and re-reading it brings everything back to normal (in fact, SAVING
the buffer, killing it, and re-reading it brings everything back).
BBDB is similar---if I change .bbdb in another instance of emacs and
am stupid enough to let bbdb revert the data base, all the "funny"
characters display as gibberish, until I kill .bbdb buffer and let
bbdb reload it.
Bright ideas are welcome.
