Yes, since Thu, 18 Nov 1999 21:54:27 -0600 (CST)  :)

Thank you, I've tried your recipe and it helps; though I think Roman
is right that this is an unobvious way, and thus this question is
bound to re-emerge again and again as somebody else would come to use
gnus+koi8.

I even doubt that this is a right way to do it; it quite suffices for
my needs, but it is imaginable that somebody would like to correspond
in different charsets in different groups: it may happen that some
Windows-specific mailing list is using CP-1251 (not for me!!).  So I
too would expect this problem to be addressed at a group level, as
Roman did.
