I've probably misspoken.

The problem that I run into regularly (not always, but a few times a
month) is that when I gnus-mime-save-part-and-strip, I get a message
edit buffer after the part is saved.  It looks OK, so I C-c C-c to
save it.  Then Gnus gets confused about the charset of the text
content of the message and misencodes it.  The net result is that the
message is unreadable.  Any attempt to edit the message using "e"
gives the same (or worse) results.

I don't have a test case to hand, so I can't be more precise.
