Works perfectly for me even with plain Emacs 21 / Gnus 5.9 from SUSE
10.0 (both with and without -no-site-file) with the following minimal
settings (I've catted your spool file to ~/INBOX).  Also with
LC_CTYPE=da_DK I don't see any problem.

 '(gnus-secondary-select-methods (quote ((nnml ""))))

 '(scroll-bar-mode (quote right)))

Here's a screen shot:

Even when loading your .emacs file it works correctly.  Are you using
Emacs as an X application or on the console (or xterm, emacs -nw)?
(But even with -nw it works for me.)

Maybe the admin [1] messed up the site-start.el file.  Please try with
-no-site-file.  And also show us the output of `M-x
describe-coding-system RET RET' and `C-h v
default-enable-multibyte-characters RET'.  What's the coding info (at
the left part of the mode line; "0" = Latin-0 in my screen shot) in
the summary and article buffer?

Bye, Reiner.

[1] Apropos admin: You could install a newer Gnus (5.10.8) in your
    HOME directory, if you like.
