I have another question: i want make "iso-8859-2" default coding for
my posts and mails, but when i reply to "utf-8" i got charset "utf-8"
in my headers (like in that post). How set recoding all "utf-8" posts
to iso-8859-2 in Gnus?
Gnus from cvs, Mule-UCS, Emacs 20.7.

I think this is a side-effect of how MULE works - it doesn't really
understand that a "á" character (for example) is in Latin-2 as well as
Latin-1, so when it reads "á", it puts a Latin-1 "á" in the message,
rather than a Latin-2 "á"[*]. If you quote this, and add some text of
your own with a Latin-2 "á" (or if the quote contains a character like
"ń" which isn't in Latin-1), then Mule thinks you've mixed two different
encodings. That's why it uses UTF-8.
The fix isn't easy - though it may be possible to patch mule-ucs to
prefer Latin-2 encoding when reading. I wouldn't know how to do this,
unfortunately.
[*] I've distinguished the two characters during composition, but this
will be sent as UTF-8, so you won't be able tell them apart.
Perhaps if I divide the message by hand, they'll get coded
seperately:
