Instead of such a brute force destruction of information, you should
analyze the problem. But "see as garbage" is not a sufficient
description to even guess what could be wrong.
If you use Gnus/5.9 Emacs/21.2 as your headers suggest, I'd strongly
recommend to upgrade at least to Emacs 21.4. The Gnus version (also
labeled 5.9) of Emacs 21.4 provides `mm-coding-system-priorities':
,----[ <f1> v mm-coding-system-priorities RET ]
| mm-coding-system-priorities is a variable defined in `mm-util.el'.
| Its value is
| (iso-8859-1 iso-8859-2 iso-8859-15 mule-utf-8)
|
| Documentation:
| Preferred coding systems for encoding outgoing messages.
|
| More than one suitable coding system may be found for some text.
| By default, the coding system with the highest priority is used
| to encode outgoing messages (see `sort-coding-systems'). If this
| variable is set, it overrides the default priority.
`----
Even better than using Emacs 21.4 + Gnus 5.9 would be to upgrade to
Gnus 5.10 available from www.gnus.org.
Unfortunately the latest stable release is still 5.10.6 although the
stable branch in CVS ("v5-10") contains lots of bug fixes to warrant a
release 5.10.7. Maybe I should tickle Lars again. :-)
Bye, Reiner.
Followup-To: gnu.emacs.gnus set, since this is Gnus specific.
