I think something needs to be done about this. Since I decided to put
`ß' in my From address, I get all kinds of problems. In particular,
quite a few of my messages have an ASCII body but that eight bit
character in the header.
I think Gnus ought to have a look at the header before sending and to
encode non-ASCII characters. Both for mail and for news.

What's going wrong exactly?

The problem seems to be that gnus correctly encodes the non-ascii
characters in the headers for *mail*, but uses "raw" 8bit characters
in *news*. As an example here are the headers I received for one of

The problem occurs when posting to a news group and when the message
itself is ASCII only.
