-  There used to be a boycott of Apple because of its "look and feel"

-  Currently the GNU project treats Apple like other computer companies.
-
-  Since the Mac operating system is very different from Unix and GNU,

-  to the GNU project's goals.  Meanwhile, we don't have the resources

-  So if we had to do work on support for the Macintosh, that would
-  directly harm the GNU project.
-
-  Of course, the same is true for MSDOS and Windows NT.  We decided to
-  incorporate support for those systems because the code was very modular,
-  because volunteers not only wrote all the code but also investigate
-  all the bugs reported on those systems, and because we hoped that we

-133: How do I make Emacs display 8-bit characters?
+134: How do I make Emacs display 8-bit characters?
+
+  Emacs 19 has built-in support for 8-bit characters.  Here is an excerpt
+  from the "European Display" page of the on-line manual:
+
+    Some European languages use accented letters and other special symbols.
+    The ISO 8859 Latin-1 character set defines character codes for many
+    European languages in the range 160 to 255.
+
+    Emacs can display those characters according to Latin-1, provided the
+    terminal or font in use supports them.  The "M-x
+    standard-display-european" command toggles European character display
+    mode.  With a numeric argument, "M-x standard-display-european" enables
+    European character display if and only if the argument is positive.
+
+    Some operating systems let you specify the language you are using by
+    setting a locale.  Emacs handles one common special case of this: if
+    your locale name for character types contains the string "8859-1" or
+    "88591", Emacs automatically enables European character display mode
+    when it starts up.
 
-  Emacs 19 introduced built-in support for 8-bit characters.  Emacs 20 can
-  operate similarly in Unibyte mode or else in Multibyte mode.  See the
-  "International" node in the online manual, specifically "Single-Byte
-  European Support".

+    If you enter non-ASCII ISO Latin-1 characters often, you might find ISO
+    Accents mode convenient.  When this minor mode is enabled, the
+    characters ``', `'', `"', `^', `/' and `~' modify the following letter
+    by adding the corresponding diacritical mark to it, if possible.  To
+    enable or disable ISO Accents mode, use the command "M-x

   Underlining appears like this:
 
     _^Hu_^Hn_^Hd_^He_^Hr_^Hl_^Hi_^Hn_^Hi_^Hn_^Hg
 
-  Use Gnus' "Overstrike" function from the Article -> Washing menu (or type
-  "W o").  You can do this for all articles with:
-
-    (add-hook 'gnus-article-prepare-hook 'gnus-article-treat-overstrike)
+  Per Abrahamsen <amanda@iesd.auc.dk> suggests using the following code,
+  which uses the underline face to turn such text into true underlining:
+
+    (defun gnus-article-prepare-overstrike ()
+      ;; Prepare article for overstrike commands.
+      (save-excursion
+        (set-buffer gnus-article-buffer)
+        (let ((buffer-read-only nil))
+        (goto-char (point-min))
+          (while (search-forward "\b" nil t)
+            (let ((next (following-char))
+                  (previous (char-after (- (point) 2))))
+              (cond ((eq next previous)
+                     (delete-region (- (point) 2) (point))
+                     (put-text-property (point) (1+ (point))
+                                        'face 'bold))
+                    ((eq next ?_)
+                     (delete-region (1- (point)) (1+ (point)))
+                     (put-text-property (1- (point)) (point)
+                                        'face 'underline))
+                    ((eq previous ?_)
+                     (delete-region (- (point) 2) (point))
+                     (put-text-property (point) (1+ (point))
+                                        'face 'underline))))))))
+
+    (add-hook 'gnus-article-prepare-hook 'gnus-article-prepare-overstrike)
 
   If you prefer to do away with underlining altogether, you can
   destructively remove it with M-x ununderline-region; do this
   automatically via
 
     (add-hook 'gnus-article-prepare-hook
-      (lambda () (ununderline-region (point-min) (point-max))))
+      '(lambda () (ununderline-region (point-min) (point-max))))
 
-  See the Gnus manual for more information about this and similar methods
-  for treating article contents.
