Hi,
The present "forwarded message" which contains 8-bit chars in koi8-r
encoding, attached not as MIME part, but between lines
containing "-- forwarded message --" and "-- end of forwarded message --"
So, it is a bug in some gnus-* function which treats these messages as
MIME attachments.
Это тест. Это тест. Это тест. Это тест.
This is a test. This is a test. This is a test.

VV> Vladimir.
It is a long story. I have been fixing this problem in mm-uu for
several months. Now it should work for most cases.
The fix has been checked into CVS.

VV> Best regards, -- Vladimir.
The function article-de-quoted-unreable does two steps, decoding
quoted-printable, then decoding charset. Decoding charset generally
decodes the whole buffer, therefore all the other non-ascii texts are
double-decoded. It is not easy to fix, unless restricting to each
quoted-printable region to decode charset.
But you can try `C-u g W q'. However, this command will not decode
headers.
