Re: [O] links to folders with non-english characters don't work (emacs 23&24 on osx)

[Ansgar Meyer]

Embarrassingly, I put my response in the wrong place, I've never used a mailing 
list before. Anyway, for future reference, here's my response:

Solved! (By setting current-language-environment to utf-8, it was set to 
english-something by default) I have no idea why I didn't check what encoding 
emacs was using by default right away.  I had no encoding problems until this 
issue surfaced. Thank you!
