Sorry, that was a semi-gnus thing.

I do not know, but there are e.g. three cyrillic language environments
defined in MULE: Cyrillic-KOI8, Cyrillic-ISO, Cyrillic-ALT. May be,
person who uses Cyrillic-ISO would prefer his letters to be sent
encoded iso-8859-5, but those of us using Cyrillic-KOI8, would like to
send messages encoded with koi8-r. Semi-gnus somehow knew about this,
and did not try to use iso-8859-5 at all. :-)
BTW, the problem with \214 seems to be present only in
nnmbox:mail.misc `newsgroup'. In nnml:archive and in nntp newsgroups
the situation is much better. Very strange.
Best regards, -- Vladimir.
