It turns out that the problem was being caused by this call from .emacs: (current-language-environment "German") which appears to make Emacs prefer latin-1. I wasn't sure if this should be considered an actual problem, or just a configuration error, so I thought I should forward it.

I think this is working as it's supposed t. The "German" environment is apparently defined as follows: ("German" (documentation . "This language environment is almost the same as Latin-1= ,\nbut sets the default input method to \"german-postfix\".\nAdditionally, = it selects the German tutorial.") (sample-text . "German (Deutsch Nord) Guten Tag\nGerman (Deutsch S=C3=BCd= ) Gr=C3=BC=C3=9F Gott") (unibyte-display . iso-latin-1) (input-method . "german-postfix") (nonascii-translation . iso-8859-1) (coding-priority iso-latin-1) (coding-system iso-latin-1 iso-latin-9) (charset iso-8859-1) (tutorial . "TUTORIAL.de")) So while it may be surprising in this day and age that that's what this does, I don't think the definition can be changed (because that'd break the setup of people who rely on "German" to be iso-8859-1). --=20 (domestic pets only, the antidote for overdose, milk.) bloggy blog: http://lars.ingebrigtsen.no From debbugs-submit-bounces@debbugs.gnu.org Wed Aug 21 16:57:36 2019 Received: (at control) by debbugs.gnu.org; 21 Aug 2019 20:57:37 +0000 Received: from localhost ([127.0.0.1]:36617 helo=debbugs.gnu.org) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1i0XfT-0000u4-U1 for submit@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 21 Aug 2019 16:57:36 -0400 Received: from quimby.gnus.org ([80.91.231.51]:43162) by debbugs.gnu.org with esmtp (Exim 4.84_2) (envelope-from ) id 1i0Xf0-0000sM-KW for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 21 Aug 2019 16:57:05 -0400 Received: from 77.16.217.167.tmi.telenormobil.no ([77.16.217.167] helo=sandy) by quimby.gnus.org with esmtpsa (TLS1.2:ECDHE_RSA_AES_256_GCM_SHA384:256) (Exim 4.89) (envelope-from ) id 1i0Xew-0006Q6-Jt for control@debbugs.gnu.org; Wed, 21 Aug 2019 22:56:48 +0200 Date: Wed, 21 Aug 2019 13:56:44 -0700 Message-Id: <8736huxmnn.fsf@mouse.gnus.org> To: control@debbugs.gnu.org From: Lars Ingebrigtsen Subject: control message for bug #8517 X-Spam-Report: Spam detection software, running on the system "quimby.gnus.org", has NOT identified this incoming email as spam.

The user had (current-language-environment "German") in ~/.emacs, and was surprised that this overrode the LANG settings. But like I tried to say, that's what that invocation does, so this works as designed.
