Subject: bug#1174: 23.0.60; Some UTF-8 mails displaying wrongly in Emacs 23
Date: Mon, 12 Jan 2009 11:54:01 +0100

I have recently upgraded my Gnus installation, and it included this fix.
Now every e-mail I send has non-ASCII characters pre-fixed with \201.
So the patch installed does not seem to be the right, or there is
something else wrong with my configuration.  Can anyone else reproduce
this?  I'm including 'åäö' in this e-mail for debugging.

I'll see if I can debug this further, and find the exact part of the
patch that cause the problem.
