This is not good, because you are marking perfectly fine us-ascii text 
as iso-2022-jp (?!) instead of only the Amharic (?) file.  Some
mailers may choose not to show the ASCII text because of that.

With iso-8859-* things are slightly better, but still...

This is obviously wrong.  When autosplitting, Gnus should compress the
adjacent regions of equal charset to a single part.  The same with
thai-tis620.

Otherwise, the feature is quite cool, if a little pathological.  :-)
