That's what I thought. Including it shortcuts MIME decoding, so all characters that have a codepoint different from the one in Unicode are not displayed correctly. (For windows-1252, this is the range from 0x80 to 0x9f). > It works in both Emacs 22 and 23, and both Windows and Linux.

I think that Julian Bradfield's analysis in gnu.emacs.vm.info <[email protected]> is quite accurate. > What do we make of the bug report #490027 now? At least we need updated documentation for the variable (Julian said he would come up with a new docstring). Beyond that, I'm not sure. If we had GNU Emacs 23 only, things could be much simplified, but I don't know about the situation for XEmacs.
