Damn.  I don't remember reading that.  But see below.

That looks helpful.

I do have that set to ((1 . utf-8)).  I don't remember doing so, and it
was done via customize rather than ~/.gnus, so I don't have a RCS log to
see when I did it.  But it was presumably for using g with a prefix.

Too bad I forgot all about it.

Actually, I now do remember doing that.  I gave up because, w/o Stefan's
patch, it didn't do any good for the bug at hand.  The 8bit unclassified
utf-8 still wouldn't render.  (And I didn't know about said patch until
recently.)
