Thank you.

Well, usually I do exactly like that but during my first steps with Gnus
I took public configuration files from webpages and this old option I
used before came from such a file. I guess an alternative to my way is
this:

;; http://www.zonix.de/div/el/gnus_message.html
;; Force 8bit-Encoding
(add-to-list 'mm-body-charset-encoding-alist '(iso-8859-1 . 8bit))
(if (mm-coding-system-p 'iso-8859-15)
    (add-to-list 'mm-body-charset-encoding-alist '(iso-8859-15 . 8bit)))

Are there any (dis)advantages using add-to-list instead of setq? I
assume that this is going to be my last question regarding this topic
for my problem seems to be solved. Just being curious... :-)

Marcus
