That's a real problem. Accoring to offical Usenet RFCs, usenet headers
have to be 8bit clean - 8bit chars may only occur in rfc2047 (qp)
format.

I've been flamed multiple times for 8 bit headers not being rfc
2047-encoded in my pgnus usenet headers. According to my
investigations, the flamers were right.

Thus, Gnus should use RFC2047 header encoding for news, too.
