Followed your instruction and compiled an emacs binary from the
scratch/gnus-decoded branch.
1. When listing Groups in the Group buffer using (l) or (L), all good.
2. In a group Summary Buffer, when moving (B m) an article to a new
(non-existent) group in English, Gnus asks, creates group & moves article.
3. Same group Summary Buffer, moving to a Greek named group, Gnus asks
with name encoded as numbers and fails to create group. Here is
'*Message*' buffer:
: Generating summary...done
: Loading quail/greek...done
: No such group: Dias/£º
»¹¹±·. Create it? (y or n) y
: gnus-read-move-group-name: Couldnt create group Dias/£º
»¹¹±·
: No more articles [2 times]
: No such group: Dias/·½¤±¿. Create it? (y or n) y
: gnus-read-move-group-name: Couldnt create group Dias/·½¤±¿
: next-line: End of buffer
: No more articles [2 times]
Also, trying to save the above text in a separate file, I get (after
setting the coding system to utf-8-emacs-unix):
: These default coding systems were tried to encode text
: in the buffer emacs-gnus-group-2019-06-19.txt:
: (utf-8-emacs-unix (74 . 4194254) (75 . 4194211) (76 . 4194254) (77 .
4194234) (78
: . 4194255) (79 . 4194181) (80 . 4194254) (81 . 4194235) (82 . 4194254)
(83 .
: 4194233) (84 . 4194255))
: However, each of them encountered characters it couldnt encode:
: utf-8-emacs-unix cannot encode these: ...
:
: Click on a character (or switch to this window by M-x other-window
: and select the characters by RET) to jump to the place it appears,
: where C-u C-x = will give information about it.
:
: Select one of the safe coding systems listed below,
: or cancel the writing with C-g and edit the buffer
: to remove or modify the problematic characters,
: or specify any other coding system (and risk losing
: the problematic characters).
:
: raw-text no-conversion
Hope this helps.
