I've gone through the HELLO files under XEmacs and Emacs, and I'm now
able to post everything there (except Lao).  I had to rewrite some
bits to be able to deal with things that use different MULE charsets,
but the same MIME charset.  The solution was just to do away with most 
MULE charset thingies, and just do MIME charset thingies instead.

Anyway -- body encodings.  The reason I'm not able to post Lao is that
some of the octets in the Lao stream seems to make Emacs and/or the
nntp server choke.  I haven't really done any body encoding things --
if it's text, Gnus posts using 8bit or 7bit.  But there should be a
way to say what MIME charsets should be encoded what way
-- 7bit, 8bit, base64 and qp.  There is a
`rfc2047-charset-encoding-alist', but that says how do encode things
in the headers.  Should I just add an `mm-charset-encoding-alist' for
the bodies?

Yes.  Fix in Pterodactyl Gnus v0.76.

And with that, I hereby declare the charset bits of MIME to be
implemented by Gnus.
