The one that's set in recent versions (as far as I know), i.e. `iso-2022-7bit', at least if you want to be at all portable between Emacs and XEmacs as some people apparently do. The _correct_ one in Emacs 21 is really `emacs-mule', as etc/MORE.STUFF says, but `iso-2022-7bit' happens to DTRT with eight-bit characters. [I know various people seem to know better -- that's their data's funeral. I also know that the private charsets aren't portable between Emacs and XEmacs.] ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials Free Linux tutorial presented by Daniel Robbins, President and CEO of GenToo technologies.
