There could be a bug somewhere. Sorry for the lack of detail. The method I am using to download the page is: (switch-to-buffer (url-retrieve-synchronously "http://www.wordreference.com/deen/grun")) In the buffer *http www:wordreference.com:80* I see the character that firefox displays as "ü" (u with umlaut) as \303\274. When I try to copy and paste it here in this e-mail, however, it appears as: "ü" (that is also what happens when I try returning this buffer (buffer-string) and inserting the returned buffer it into another buffer). As I said, however, if I merely save and reopen the file, the characters get shown properly. In case this is useful, in the buffer *http www:wordreference.com:80* the variable 'buffer-file-coding-system' is mule-utf-8 And yes: I am using Emacs 22.1.1. Santiago.
