I've just upgraded charset.el to handle ISO646-SE.  That means that if
you are using TM, then you simply say:

    (setq gnus-newsgroup-default-charset-alist
          '(("swedish" . iso646-se)))

then messages will be automatically displayed with the above
interpretation in all groups whose name contains `swedish'.  The
a-list is indexed by regexps.  And beware: although IANA calls the
8-bit character sets something like `ISO-8859-1', the 7-bit ones are
called `ISO646-SE' (no dash after the `ISO').

You'll need:

    /anonymous@ftp.dcs.ed.ac.uk:/pub/jec/programs/charset.tar.gz

On the other hand, the \\v business is not a charset, but an encoding,
so it is not in my area of competence :-).  (By the way, once you
decide to use an encoding, and therefore to be unreadable by the
average mortal, why not include the name of the charset used?)
