If you have one of these unreadable messages (that does not contain
anything secret you shouldn't reveal), I suggest you post it to the
list, so developers can look at it.
Saying "sometimes it doesn't work" doesn't give them much to work on :-)

Please show us an an example.

I would expect Gnus to choose the same encoding for two identical
emails. For two different emails, you can't be sure - see the
documentation of the above mentioned variable.

I won't say you're wrong, but an example would make your case much more
convincing :-)
