By default Gnus never prefers a certain encoding. What chooses
it is Emacs, that works according to its hard-coded rules,
the language-environment[1] or the locale[2]. But Gnus offers
you a means to change the behavior. Try this:
(setq mm-coding-system-priorities '(iso-8859-1))
The value should be a list of coding-systems[3] you prefer. See
the Info[4] for more detail. Note that iso-8859-1 won't be used
if there's a character that cannot be encoded by iso-8859-1 in a
message.
[1] See the value of the variable: current-language-environment
[2] `M-! locale RET' and see the buffer "*Shell Command Output*".
[3] The symbols used for the coding-system names are normally
the same as the ones used for the encoding names in Emacs.
[4] (info "(Emacs-MIME)Encoding Customization") <- Type C-x C-e.
