Please check why the insidious \201 markers did appear in this mail.  I
guess, some mail client forgot to provide proper MIME header entries:

I don't see any \201 characters on my system in that mail message.
RMAIL correctly decodes it as Latin-9.

Here's the header I see on my system:

  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-15

This is perfectly valid, AFAICS.

Maybe, some mail gateway did add those lines for you.

But these lines were missing from the original posting -- RMS never
ever bothers to add such stuff, I guess ;) :

Don't panic. The original email is emacs-mule encoded without the
content-type header. You can type `0 g emacs-mule RET' to fix it.

Sorry,  I now see that I looked at a wrong message, not the one you
had in mind.

Richard's message indeed shows \201 characters, but that's only
because they were present in the message itself:

      (re-search-forward "[=C2=81=C2=AB=C2=81=C2=BB{}()]" nil t)

See those 0xC2 characters before each 8-bit Latin-9 code?

As for the encoding, it says this:

   Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

So the question now is how come Richard's Emacs sent such a badly
encoded message, and why did it think it was in UTF-8 when in fact it
was in emacs-mule?

The archived message lacks this line.  Rmail must learn to add proper
MIME header lines.

Maybe, Emacs asked whether the user wanted to use this "secure
encoding" -- the problem might go away automatically with 21.3 where
unification is enabled.

Thanks for tracking down the problem and telling a work around.

I think the archiving scripts remove that line.

> Rmail must learn to add proper MIME header lines.

??? RMAIL should not add such headers, they should be present in the
original message.  In this case, the header is in the message, RMAIL
conceals it by default, but you can toggle that with the `t' RMAIL
command.

The same effect can be achieved with RMAIL: see rmail-redecode-body.

The message I received also didn't contain it.  You said it were tagged
as "utf-8" -- but according to ShengHuo ZHU it was emacs-mule, not
UTF-8.

Also, please use uppercase letters for UTF-8 inside the MIME headers.

Sure.  I meant the mail composing/sending function.  I forgot, RMAIL is
for receiving messages only :-(

Good.

    As for the encoding, it says this:

       Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

    So the question now is how come Richard's Emacs sent such a badly
    encoded message, and why did it think it was in UTF-8 when in fact it
    was in emacs-mule?

I don't know where the Content-Type field came from, but certainly not
from Emacs.  sendmail.el doesn't know about them.

As for the strangeness of the encoding, I think that is coming from
the Emacs on fencepost that I am using to finally send my mail.
I should build the latest Emacs and use that instead.

It was tagged as utf-8, but actually was encoded in emacs-mule.

The message as I received it did not contain any MIME headers.
