AFAIR, if the message contains a really multilingual text :) for which SEMI could not figure out a single MIME charset which includes all glyphs, it does not permit to send such a message. [forcing a user e.g. to break a message into parts] This is imho more safe than `automagical' splitting the message into MIME parts. At least i'd prefer gnus to inform me that it is not able to find a proper charset than not having an idea how the message would be sent. Or at least, before sending such a message, gnus should show the new parts which were created, so that the user will have a control on this. Best regards, -- Vladimir.
