Hm, both changes happened 2004, but I don't recall any reports beside
the recent ones in 2008:

I never saw this problem myself. I cannot see any difference with a
few UTF-8 articles (C-T-E: 8bit, [1]), neither with Emacs 22 (with
current Gnus trunk) or Emacs trunk (Gnus 5.13 from there). Stefan,
what are the "accidental emacs-mule-valid byte sequences" that trigger
this problem? It would be good if someone could send me a problematic
article. [2]
I've just checked in (Gnus and Emacs) some code to debug this problem.
I'd like to ask those who saw the bug in Emacs 23 to test the articles
in question:
- With current Emacs 23 (Emacs CVS trunk)
- With Emacs 22 plus current Gnus CVS trunk (No Gnus)
- If you see wrong display: does it display correctly after evaluating
the following:
M-x gnus-backlog-shutdown RET
(setq nnimap-demule-use-string-to-multibyte nil
gnus-verbose 10)
Check the *Messages* buffer for messages
"nnimap-demule-use-string-to-multibyte: nil" to ensure that the
article is decoded again with this setting. You may need to
re-enter the group.

I don't want different code in Gnus and Emacs. If all else fails, we
can make it conditional.
Bye, Reiner.
