[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Package: emacs
Tags: patch

	Apparently the value of iso-transl-language-alist entry for
	Esperanto somehow (c38e0c97?) got interpreted as ISO-8859-1
	instead of the intended ISO-8859-3.

	For instance, I know of no valid use for Æ or Ø in Esperanto,
	while reinterpreting the same codes as ISO-8859-3 yields Ĉ and
	Ĝ, respectively, which are characters used by the language.

;; Language-specific translation lists.
(defvar iso-transl-language-alist
  '(("Esperanto"
     ("C"  . [?Æ])
     ("G"  . [?Ø])

	Please thus consider the patch MIMEd.
