The encoding is done by `gnus-inews-do-gcc', so it's feasible to do
stuff to control the encoding.  But would that be useful?  If you're
searching mails, you should be using nnir or glimpse or Gnus or
something; not grep.  That is, the same tools you use for searching
through mail you've received from other places should be the tools you 
use to search through mails generated by yourself.
