I have now (finally!) looked at the code for nndraft-request-article.
It's very impressive.

I think the logic is this: if we are in Emacs (not XEmacs) and if the
message-draft-coding-system is iso-2022-7bit, then all bytes in the
file must be less than 128.  So if we find a byte larger than 128
then we guess it must have come from an old draft which has been
saved in emacs-mule.

But people who have configured message-draft-coding-system will
continue to have the same value, so the above condition is false, so
even people who have configured message-draft-coding-system will have
no problems.

People who want to change message-draft-coding-system should make
sure that they have no drafts when they do it :-)
