It seems that Emacs has a problem detecting the correct encoding of
compressed PO files. Attached is a compressed PO file "de.po.gz" in
utf-8 encoding which Emacs failed to display correctly. The German
umlauts were displayed as octal sequences. This problem does not
occur if the file is either uncompressed or renamed to some other name
which does not indicate a PO file, e.g. "junk.gz".
Thank you for the report. We have noticed this problem, and
I proposed one way to fix it. Now, I'm discussing with RMS
if that is the correct way or not.
