There are quite a few means to specify both default and ignored
charsets to be used when reading; that is fine.  But I it is strange
that the default charset is not applied for the send period.

Specifically, I have an nnml group, for which koi8-r is specified as
the default charset; moreover, I have
        (set-language-environment "Cyrillic-KOI8")
set in .emacs for MULE.

Nonetheless my Russian mail from that group is sent with
charset="iso-8859-5", which is inconvenient for my correspondents.

How could I customize the send charset?  Actually I'd expect it to be
governed via the coding-system-alist.

I use Pterodactyl Gnus v0.98 on GNU Emacs 20.4.1
(sparc-sun-solaris2.5, X toolkit).

The preferred charset is set by altering the `preferred-coding-system' 
charset property of the charset you're editing in.

Uhm.

There should be a cookbook example.  Anybody who's done this for
koi8/iso-8859-5?
