Nevertheless, I think that using 8-bit characters in the header is better than using quoted-printable for the whole article, because in my experience, only few newsreaders will handle quoted-printable, while most can cope even with undeclared 8-bit characters. That's a sad thing, but it's the reality. > Please, implement the 4th option: > > * Message bodies: Tell Gnus to never encode Latin 1 chars in de.ALL. > Header lines: Encode non-ASCII characters. Okay, it's in the CVS. Now, Gnus should never use unencoded 8-bit characters in message headers. If this is a problem, please complain. Maybe we can add a customize option or something like that if it's necessary.
