Are you saying that with your patch, Message/Gnus will send articles labelled as 8859.1 but containing characters in the \200-\237 range (therefore not IS-8859.1)? Isn't this as rude as the Microsoft stuff that labels its Windows encoding as 8859.1? OTOH, what is the correct action to take when we see these characters? In this case it was a result of embedding binary data (bytecode) into a text message - AFAICT, MIME doesn't cover this; it expects you to put it into a non-text part (application/x-emacs-trace anyone?).
