Message-ID: <E1IoA9U-0001Qm-03@fencepost.gnu.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <472B1AD5.3090006@gnu.org> (message from Jason Rumney on Fri, 02 Nov 2007 12:40:53 +0000)
There appear to be two different implementations of utf-7 in Emacs, one
in lisp/international/utf-7.el, and one in lisp/gnus/utf7.el
The former seems to work for decoding, but always returns nil on
encoding without changing the buffer contents (the correctly encoded
text is in a buffer called " *temp*" however).
The latter only seems to work on Latin-1 text (as documented in the
commentary) and returns results from the encoder that are inconsistent
with iconv.
Probably lisp/international/utf-7.el should be fixed, and the Gnus one
dropped.
Handa, can you fix international/utf-7.el?
