[mew-int 01796] windows-125x and UTF-8 questions

[Serge Basterot]

Hi,

I don't understand very well  how encodings are managed in Emacs and
Mew  so  I ask  you  some  questions about  it.  Excuse  me if  it's
redondant with previous posts.

I receive some  e-mails with windows-125x charset. The  euro sign is
transformed  in "\200"  when it  is  displayed.  Is  it possible  to
display it with  the appropriate symbol ?  I don't know  if it is an
emacs or a mew issue.

When I try to reply  to e-mails with windows-125x charset my message
are encoded with utf-8 accordingly to  the info page.  This is not a
problem for me,  but I would like to know if  I can force conversion
into iso-8859-15 ?  I tried with C-c C-l but it  did not convert the
message and Mew ask if I want to encode it with utf-8.

I  set   mew-charset-latin  to  "iso-8859-15",  if  I   set  all  my
environment in UTF-8, will Mew use latin charset again or not ?

I configured my environment like this since I switched to cvs emacs,
with no reference to ucs-table nor  mule-ucs (I read in the Mew list
archive that cvs version has merged mule-ucs code) :

(set-language-environment "Latin-9")
(set-input-method "latin-9-prefix")
(set-keyboard-coding-system 'latin-9)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'latin-9)
;; (require 'ucs-tables)
;; (unify-8859-on-encoding-mode 1)
;; (unify-8859-on-decoding-mode -1)
;; (require 'mule)
;; (require 'un-define)
(codepage-setup 1250)

I thank you for the explanations you could give me.
