Well, I wouldn't want an automated solution, lest I not know what is
going on. Imagine me, computer pro, sending bytes I was not aware of.

So I would run
shell-command-on-region  "uni2ascii -e" :
C-u M-| uni2ascii -e

Note as I don't have relatives constantly sending me nbsp's that I want
to quote, the above does not become a pain.

And me, computer pro, must not also read bytes I am not aware of, (at
least not in mail, HTML or not. Browsing actual web pages are a
different matter) hence I'll opt for the

(add-hook
 'gnus-article-mode-hook
 (lambda ()
   ;; Gnus sets it to nil in the article buffer locally.
   (setq nobreak-char-display t)))

solution mentioned, as I being a font dummy, better not mess more
intensely.
