What was the problem again that > prompted you to frob the coding system stuff in the first place?) raw-text and binary are earlier than utf-8 by default, so I don't think utf-8 will ever be autodetected unless you do something. The problem was that I want utf-8 support in emacs, but I don't want Gnus to send everything in utf-8 by default. The solution I posted in another message (frobbing mm-coding-system-priorities) works so I think this is solved.
