* Email text that confuses charset recognition in emacs

Hi everyone,

I just noticed that the attached email message confuses the charset
detection machinery of Emacs, and it starts interpreting all text as
Japanese text -- even though most of the contents of the file are plain
us-ascii text.

I first noticed the problem when I received the attached message from
the `freebsd-current' mailing list, and the text looked Japanese in a
Gnus article buffer.  But saving the email text with `C-u M-g' to look
at the raw article text and re-opening the raw article text in Emacs
always shows Japanese text.

If I open the article text with `M-x find-file-literally', I can read
all of the English text, minus a few parts of the attribution line of
the email text.

The problem seems to start near this text in the email body:

| >>> In message <18DF99B0-6E66-4906-A233-7778451B8A92@felyko.com>, Rui Paulo
| >>> writes:
| >>>> 2013/04/15 9:55^[$B!"^[(BCy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@komquats.com> ^[$B$N%a%C%;!<%8^[
| >> (B:

I think it's because one of the intermediate mail relays (or even Gmail,
which got the final delivery for me) wrapper a line of text in the
middle of the byte sequence: "%8^[(B" one line before the last one.

In fact, joining the two last lines, and removing the bogusly inserted
text of "\n>> " restores the sequence to something that decodes properly
in Emacs:

    >>>> 2013/04/15 9:55^[$A!"^[(BCy Schubert <Cy.Schubert@komquats.com> ^[$A$N%a%C%;^[$B!<^[$A%8^[(B:

Since this is not a problem in what Emacs does with charset decoding of
the entire buffer, is it something we should try to fix in Gnus?  Is
there any way we can detect this sort of decoding problem at all?

I am running an Emacs snapshot built earlier this morning from this
version, by the way:

Here's also the uuencoded "broken" text of the email/article buffer:

Although the text is US-ASCII it contains a valid ISO-2022-7bit
coding sequence (the two things are not incompatible)
which Emacs is properly detecting and converting.  The problem is that
the text later contains the invalid escape sequence

   ESC LF > > SP ( B

This text was intended to switch out of a Japanese charset (the immediately
preceding text is valid ISO-2022-7bit Japanese), but a mailer that
*thought* that the text was ASCII inserted LF > > SP after the ESC
and before the ( B, causing the ESC ( B to be corrupted, so Emacs remains
in Japanese mode until the end of the input.

Perhaps when Emacs is decoding ISO-2022-7bit and sees an invalid
escape sequence, it should switch back to ASCII.  That would have
fixed your problem, and wouldn't break the decoding of any valid
ISO-2022-7bit sequence.

It seems like a good idea.  I've just installed such a
change to the trunk.
