Yes, I remember seeing this on the Ding-List in some of Kai's
articles. But Kai and me didn't recall whether the problem was in
Emacs CVS-HEAD or in Oort Gnus (and whether it was fixed or not).

Yes, that's it, thanks for pointing this out. After applying the
following patch to lisp/international/mule-cmds.el from Emacs 21.3.1
and evaluation `sort-coding-systems', I get utf-8 as expected.

No. If the EMACS_21_1_RC branch is still maintained, it should
probably be applied there as well.

Does it make sense to apply it to EMACS_21_1_RC too?

Apparently not in Emacs 21.3, unless I misunderstood the
abovementioned patch to `sort-coding-systems'.
Bye, Reiner.
