Upon sending a message, the thing keeps asking me:
Charset used in the article:
(This is on a non-MULE XEmacs.) I've tried following the trail of
variables to find out how to set some default here in a politically
correct way. I've given up. After reading the documentation for
`gnus-group-posting-charset-alist', I don't even know what the answer
to this question means anymore. Can anyone help?

I had a similar problem last summer, and on the advice of this list, I
now have:
;character set
(setq message-default-charset `iso-8859-1)
in my .gnus.el. This causes the question not to happen, and
everything is fine as long as I want to use only Latin-1 characters.
However, I now have the opposite problem. If I try to insert Polish
characters, I get the message:
Charsym aogonek not valid in current buffer
What do you do once you have a default charset to use a non-default
charset?

Not afaik. I've set nothing knowingly to do that. Is there a C-h v
entry I can check to see?

Can you M-x toggle-debug-on-quit RET and press C-g on the prompt to
get a backtrace? I think Gnus is supposed to guess charset
automatically. Hm. Unless you use emacs in unibyte mode. Do you?
