replying to html part & `unbreakable space'

[Vladimir Volovich]

Hi,

i installed w3, and then when i `replied to an html part' of the
multipart/alternative in Russian, i got an error that gnus is unable
to encode iso-8859-1 and koi8-r. I was very surprized about this
warning, because the message contained only cyrillic symbols. But it
seems that the reason was that the (html) message contained a
`unbreakable space' characters, which were the reason of iso-8859-1 in
find-charset-region. This character is absent in koi8-r, so:

would it be possible for gnus to automatically translate `unbreakable
space' characters to `plain space' when replying to a message?

	Best regards, -- Vladimir.

I don't think Message should translate any characters automatically.
Unbreakable space might be considered a special case, but unbreakable
space is different from space, so even that is dubious.

Just for the record, there are (some) pressures in the French community
for using the non-breakable space more often, in usual non-HTML email.
