Why? The "Hyper Help" says:
Variables and Constants:
gnus-default-posting-charset
Default charset assumed to be used when posting non-ASCII
characters. This variable is overridden on a group-to-group basis
by the gnus-group-posting-charset-alist variable and is only used
on groups not covered by that variable. If nil, no default charset
is assumed when posting.

Mmmhh, "Hyper Help" lists them in "Variables and Constants" and says:
gnus-article-decode-mime-words:
Decode all MIME-encoded words in the article.
gnus-article-decode-charset:
Decode charset-encoded text in the article.
If PROMPT (the prefix), prompt for a coding system to use.
I took these lines from a sample configuration I found somewhere on
the web and a posting on ding or in the gnus-newsgroup.
