My Emacs is utf8-aware on Debian etch, using the following in my ~/.emacs: (setq locale-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-terminal-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-keyboard-coding-system 'utf-8) (set-selection-coding-system 'utf-8) (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8) BTW, for Gnus, I use: (setq message-default-charset (quote utf-8) mm-body-charset-encoding-alist '((utf-8 . 8bit) (utf8 . 8bit)) mm-coding-system-priorities '(mule-utf-8 iso-latin-1) gnus-default-posting-charset (quote utf8) ) Hope this helps, -- Nicolas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
