I've a topic named r=E4ksm=F6rg=E5s and it has worked for quite a while=
, I
think you'll need

(setq gnus-startup-file-coding-system 'iso-8859-1)

to get it to work.

Perhaps the default of that variable should be `mule' so that one
could have any string in topics without having to edit the variable?
It would require that Gnus checked the .newsrc.eld version number and
used 'binary for older versions and 'mule for recent.
