I thought I understood coding systems enough to copy-paste between Emacs
and Windows apps but I am no longer able to revert (re-code?) text from
a buffer saved as utf-8 to latin-1. If I have the following in a buffer,
how can I send it in Mozilla Thunderbird as latin-1?

Theodosiô postea imperante rês aliquâtenus in meliôrem statum adductae sunt.

Circumflex diacritics are part of latin-1 if I'm not mistaken but I
always get a warning that message contains characters not found in the
Encoding.
Any help?

Thanks,

Ed

What Emacs version are you using? Emacs 22.x ought to use UTF-16
(a.k.a. Unicode) encoding when passing text through the Windows
clipboard, so any native Windows application should be happy with the
result.

Can you try pasting the same text into Notepad? If that works, then
the problem is likely ion Mozilla, not in Emacs.

A very helpful function is in ps-print or ps-spool: it tells you
which characters can't be printed because they're outside ISO Latin-1
(at least some version 22.x), which has upper and lower case {aeiou}
with (and without) circumflex.

You could also use C-u C-x = to see what actually was pasted. Can
recode give some hints?

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
fools.
