Hello,
I would like to reply with the same charset as the original
article. Currently, there's gnus-default-posting-charset, but it is
seems not possible to say "same as the answered article". Actually, I
would like to use it in mail groups, where I have groups with more
than one charset. gnus-default-posting-charset could be something like
'current.
Georges.

What are those charsets? Do they share some characters except ASCII
ones?

You mean, it is not used ?

When I do a follow-up or reply, if there are Chinese characters
like in Big5 in the header (From:), then the To: in the composing
buffer is displayed as 8-bit characters... Also, the "XXX writes",
where XXX is extracted from the From:, have 8-bit characters too...

It is because you did not setup the group charset right. By default,
the group charset is iso8859-1, so what you see is not 8-bit
characters, but iso-8859-1 characters. To setup the default group
charset, you can configure the charset parameter (maybe also
ignored-charsets) in the group parameters. Once you set it to big5,
you can always see Chinese in the From header, also To: field when you
reply. To override the default charset temporarily, you could type `0
G cn-big5 RET' on the message.
