Excuse me not getting to that earlier; I managed, accidentally, to have Gnus
ignore comp.emacs.xemacs for half a week :-( .
Gnus people, when you’ve subscribed to a group, and have read all the
messages in that group, and the line for that group has disappeared from the
*Groups* buffer, what’s the sanctioned way to go back and reread those
messages? I type “U” in the “*Group*” buffer, subscribe to
comp.emacs.xemacs, read 50 messages, and then I seem to be unsubscribed from
it, which is exactly what I don’t want.
Anyway, Alan, tell us if recode with trn works for you. A few minutes’
googling doesn’t give me anything better as a suggestion, besides using the
UTF-8 branch of Mutt together with a news-mail gateway.
