That’s a bug that some changes I made tickled, according to this mail:
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200505/msg00121.html
But I’ve looked into this some more, and, well, the design of that code is
hugely broken--loads of programming using and endorsing underdocumented
dynamic binding, crazy return values--and I haven’t seen an example where
setting mm-coding-system-priorities appropriately is broken. I’ll put
together a patch removing support for newsgroup-specific character sets if
this sounds reasonable.
If not, I’ll look into adding support for binding message-posting-charset
around calls to mm-find-charset-region, which should re-add support for the
charset-per-newsgroup approach.
