Thanks, but this is not the right way to solve such problems, IMO. We
should either make the coding-system be customizable as a simple
value, or (better) have a more complex data structure that allows to
specify the encoding for each NNTP server (or for servers matching
some regexp), with UTF-8 being the default.
Also, AFAICT, Gnus currently uses more than a single variable to hold
the coding-system it uses for decoding stuff in different situations,
so some changes will probably be needed to use a single customizable
value everywhere.
