Subject: bug#1677: 23.0.60; GNUS groups and non ascii characters: mails disappear
Date: Tue, 23 Dec 2008 15:25:36 +0100

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:




I use a group name containing the german letter `ö'. My whole Debian
System is utf-8 based and I save all files (.emacs, .gnus.el....) in
utf-8 by default.

Here is the relevant part of an example .gnus.el:

(setq nnmail-split-methods
      '(("list:monotone-devel" "Subject:.*\\[Monotone-devel\\]")
        ("list:emacs-devel" "To:.*emacs-devel <at> gnu.org")
        ("unmöglich" "\\(To\\|CC\\|Sender\\|From\\):.*@example.de")
        ("mail:eingang" "")
        ))

In the group buffer `unmöglich' is displayed as

 nnml:unm\366glich

When I fetch new mails, the line in the group buffer changes as expected
to 

  6: nnml:unm\336glich

Moving point to that line and pressing SPACE, that is
(gnus-group-read-group &optional all no-article group select-articles),
makes all the mails disapear again, and the line looks like I have no
mails in that group anymore:

  0: nnml:unm\336glich

The summarybuffer does not open up. If the summary buffer was opened
already, it's contents are not changed to reflect the contents of
`unmöglich'.

sh$ ls -l ~/emacs/gnus/Mail/
drwxr-xr-x 2 sebastian sebastian    4096 23. Dez 12:48 unmöglich
drwxr-xr-x 2 sebastian sebastian    4096 23. Dez 15:12 unm?glich

...revealsI have two directories for this group, both of which were
touched today:

`unmöglich' was touched when I started emacs/gnus.
            This is, where I found 3 out of 6 mails (maybe the `6: ...'
            was wrong in the group buffer?).
`unm?glich' was touched when I fetched Mail (or when I hit the spacebar
            in the group buffer - not shure yet).
            This one is empty.






If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/local/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
