Subject: 23.0.60; Rmail buffer's encoding set incorrectly
Date: Sat, 24 Jan 2009 14:06:23 +0200

Start Rmail on an mbox file FOO with "C-u M-x rmail RET FOO RET", then
evaluate buffer-file-coding-system: you will see the value of
default-buffer-file-coding-system, instead of the encoding of the
message that is being displayed.

Type `p' and then `n' (to get to the same message): the value now
changes to undecided-unix.

Type "C-x C-s" (perhaps after making some changes, such as deleting a
message): the value changes to raw-text-dos.  Type `p' two times, and
the value changes back to undecided-unix.

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
d:/gnu/emacs/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Subject: Re: bug#2018: 23.0.60; Rmail buffer's encoding set incorrectly
Date: Sat, 31 Jan 2009 15:40:02 +0200

Fixed with these changes:

2009-01-31  Eli Zaretskii  <eliz <at> gnu.org>

	* mail/rmail.el (rmail-convert-babyl-to-mbox): Set Rmail's buffer
	encoding to `raw-text-unix'.
	(rmail-perm-variables): Set encoding of rmail-view-buffer to
	`undecided-unix'.
	(rmail-redecode-body): Don't change EOL conversion of the new
	encoding if the old one left it unspecified.
	(rmail-swap-buffers): New function.
	(rmail-change-major-mode-hook, rmail-swap-buffers-maybe)
	(rmail-show-message): Use rmail-swap-buffers.
	(rmail-decode-region): If DESTINATION is a buffer, set the
	encoding of that buffer, rather than the current buffer.
