I found the cause of this problem. It has nothing to do with Pgnus.

It was my fault, the reason was that I didn't have the option

    `no mimedecode'

in my `.fetchmailrc'. This option is on by default in the latest
version of fetchmail, but I was using a somewhat older version.

Without this option fetchmail will decode MIME-encoded header into
8-bit data. Then of course Pgnus can't know anymore what character-set
to use  for displaying the header.

Sorry if I caused confusion.

Mike
