The encoding mentioned here has two phases. One is charset encoding,
the other is QP-like encoding. If you want to send octet sequence to
a news server, the newsgroup name must be encoded in a certain
charset. Sometimes, it is not an issue for iso-8859-1 characters,
because Emacs encodes them behind you.
