Could you be using characters that cannot be represented in iso-8859-1?
I think Gnus will then go to utf-8.

One thing to try is to temporarily configure Gnus to use iso-8859-1
globally:

  (setq message-default-charset 'iso-8859-1) ;; Not sure if this is used
  (setq mm-coding-system-priorities '(iso-8859-1 utf-8))

To see if it is the localized configuration or the general mechanism
that is failing...


  Best regards,

    Adam
