It appears that the guys from the de.* newsgroups prefer the following
encoding of non-ASCII (i.e. Latin-1) characters as follows:
- For the body, CTE 8bit should be used, but quoted-printable is
also acceptable.
- For the header, quoted-printable encoding should be used as in
"=?iso-8859-1?q?Gro=DFjohann?=".
It appears that for posting news, the second requirement is not met:
the ß in my name is sent as-is.

If you set `gnus-group-posting-charset-alist' to nil, that should fix
things.
