This hasn't changed for a while, I think.  Try looking at the variable
mm-content-transfer-encoding-defaults, and changing that.  I think
it's a misfeature, however---I think Gnus ought to look, and if the
enclosed things are 7bit, then it ought to use that (and otherwise, I
suspect base64 would be safer, although possibly not more readable to
people without MIME MUAs).
