[mew-int 2749] Re: Emacs 23, uses utf-8 instead of iso-8859-1

Thank you for your report.

Since I'm sticking to Emacs 22, this is a very first time for me to
know this problem.

This problem is caused because the internal representation of
character set is completely changed. I observed it and it appeared
that this problem is deeper than I expected. 

So, I'm asking a correct solution to an expert of Emacs. When I
receive an answer, I will fix this problem.
