This message (which contains the bad characters) will be split into
parts with utf-8 and shift_jis, see "A message part needs to be split
into %d charset parts." in `mml-parse-1'.

Maybe nnrss could do something similar, e.g. return
"=?utf-8?Q?=E8=BA=AB?= =?shift_jis?Q?=EFn?="?  I know next to nothing
about RSS, so I'm not sure.  Anyone?
