I don't know. It might. I added

(setq file-coding-system-alist
      (cons
       (cons
        (concat (expand-file-name "~/Mail/queued-mail/") "[^.]+\\'")
        '(emacs-mule-dos . undecided-unix))
       file-coding-system-alist))

to my .gnus file. However, I'm sufficiently clueless about coding
systems that it's hard to tell what the right thing to do is. For
example, when is a file encoded? When is it decoded?
