Re: FW: Emacs non-ascii characters

[Richard M. Stallman]

    So, I think, in en_US locale, setting the default coding
    system to iso-8859-1 is the right thing.  Currently, we do
    that by setting "Latin-1" lang. env.  But that sets
    default-input-method to latin-1-prefix, thus C-\
    automatically activates it.

I see the issue.  I agree that it should not set default-input-method.

Thanks for dealing with this.
