No.
For example, I run in a non-Mule XEmacs with latin2 fonts (as set by
Xdefaults), and the non-ASCII chars are likely latin2 -- however,
XEmacs doesn't know that by default. Under TTY's, things work so that
I instruct my terminal (emulator) to display latin2 fonts, and XEmacs
does the (more or less) right thing by default.
I don't run in a Croatian locale, because that would be disastrous for
other things. Besides, not all operating systems implement a Croatian
locale.

Yes. It would also be nice to provide a variable for this, say
`message-default-charset', which the user can set in their .gnus and
avoid the question.
