Is it true that this happens when the charset is stated as UTF-8
(upper-case), but works if it is utf-8 (lower-case)?  If so, then
Gnus, or one of the functions it calls, doesn't downcase the charset
name before it intern's it, to get the coding-system.

Or is the problem the "; format=flowed" thingy?
