An encoding problem

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi,

I fetched the git repo for mu/mu4e and recompiled today. Now, when
I try to send an email with some non-ascii letters (like "ą"), I see
some kind of temp buffer and Emacs asks me in what encoding to save it.
The message is sent all right, but this is a bit uncomfortable;-).

What may be happening?

Best,

If you're running with emacs 26, it seems to be a regression:

https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=25645

Dirk-Jan: my current band-aid for this is:

diff --git i/mu4e/mu4e-compose.el w/mu4e/mu4e-compose.el
index 077b0e3a..67597683 100644
--- i/mu4e/mu4e-compose.el
+++ w/mu4e/mu4e-compose.el
@@ -257,7 +257,8 @@ If needed, set the Fcc header, and register the handler function."
(lexical-let ((maildir mdir) (old-handler message-fcc-handler-function))
(lambda (file)
(setq message-fcc-handler-function old-handler) ;; reset the fcc handler
- (write-file file) ;; writing maildirs files is easy
+ (let ((coding-system-for-write 'raw-text))
+ (write-file file)) ;; writing maildirs files is easy
(mu4e~proc-add file (or maildir "/")))))))) ;; update the database

(defvar mu4e-compose-hidden-headers

although, for an upstream bug of an unreleased version, I would be
skeptical in applying it officially.

Yes.

Right. I'll just make this change myself. Thanks!
