If you intend to send UTF-8, you MUA should not declare it as
"Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=ISO-8859-1". ;-)
Ooops. I haven't tamed my MUA yet. It's only been ten years.
My question is: are emacs regex character classes limited to the
iso-8859-1 character set, or is there some way to represent Unicode
(such as UTF-8) characters in a character class?
AFAIK, you can write the chars in UTF-8 if you specify the encoding of
the lisp file, cf. (info "(emacs)Specify Coding"):
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
(defun rs-test ()
(interactive)
(re-search-forward "[ÄÖÜäößü]"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
I don't know if there's a reason why isn't used in `ispell.el'.
The particular issue is that ispell is currently broken if your LANG
environment variable specifies UTF-8 encoding, your buffer is UTF-8
encoded and contains one of these non-ASCII characters, and you
specify the "deutsch8" dictionary. ispell-word generates the error:
"Ispell and its process have different character maps"
