This is probably because pGnus by default attaches many binary files
using quoted printable encoding rather than the more robust base64
encoding.  Try putting this in your .gnus and see if it helps:

;;; Disable QP for unknown (binary) mime types.
(setq mm-content-transfer-encoding-defaults
  '(("text/x-patch" 8bit)
    ("text/.*" qp-or-base64)
    ("message/rfc822" 8bit)
    ("application/emacs-lisp" 8bit)
    ("application/x-patch" 8bit)
    (".*" base64)))

HTH.
