Well, I just tested it internally (sent mail to myself). I'm using GNU
Emacs   20.5   under   Windows   NT;   here  are  my  charset-related
settings  (probably  most  of  them are not necessary) :

(setq   gnus-group-charset-alist '((".*" koi8-r)))
(setq   gnus-group-posting-charset-alist '((".*" koi8-r)))
(setq gnus-default-charset 'koi8-r)
(setq gnus-default-posting-charset 'koi8-r)
(setq message-default-charset 'koi8-r)
(setq default-sendmail-coding-system 'koi8-r)
(setq sendmail-coding-system 'koi8-r)
(setq-default sendmail-coding-system 'koi8-r)

(codepage-setup 1251)
(set-terminal-coding-system 'cp1251)
(setq default-buffer-file-coding-system 'cp1251-dos)
(set-selection-coding-system 'cp1251-dos)
(set-default-font
      (create-fontset-from-ascii-font
       "-*-Lucida Console-normal-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-iso8859-5"))

Also I have the following in my ~/.gnus

(put-charset-property 'cyrillic-iso8859-5 'prefered-coding-system 'koi8-r)


Attached  are received mail messages (the subject and the body contain
word  'test' in Russian). Both versions correctly encoded message body
to koi8-r, although subject was sent in cp1251 by 5.8.3 version.


Best regards,
