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...
