Note that just getting a decent MULE version for Win32 would expand your potential user base immensly. AFAIK, it would cover most usual coding systems, and would have a "decent" UTF-8 support as well. But as long as the 21.5 branch doesn't have a Win32 binary test program, I'm unable to contribute. I don't have the opportunity to build and develop - I could use and thus test, but I'm denied that opportunity. > Sure.

"Real Life" effectively prevents me from contributing that way. Most users probably don't even have the coding skills necessary. Again, I'm greatful for your efforts, and would like to be able to contribute somehow. However, as tings stand now, I might have to move to GNU Emacs on Win32 just to get my Gnus to show encoded messages better. Cheers, Camillo
