Ok; then (barring all the gazillion bugs I'm sure there's in the code) 
Gnus should now be RFC1522 compliant.  (That is, all the headers
should be properly encoded.)

Now, how does one turn that off?  :-)

When I send out mail messages (and news articles) containing only
Latin-1 characters, I do not want Gnus to encode those.  What would be 
the most convenient way to specify charsets not to encode?  Hm...

Perhaps just an `rfc1522-unencoded-charsets' variable that would
default to `(ascii)' or `(ascii iso-8859-1)'?  Yes, I think I'll do
that.

But what if one wants to encode mail, but not news?  Or the other way
around?  Hm.
