Done.  I have found and fixed some problems.

See the threads starting with
<news:4adc91846507dfc3bbd2f23c7cc32a39@wachinger.fqdn.th-h.de> in
de.comm.software.newsreader and <news:eiheec$acn$1@online.de> in
de.comp.editoren for some examples in the wild.  (If you don't have
access to de.* I could send interested testers an mbox file with this
threads.)

Or the thread starting with
<news:v94px7cjcs.fsf@marauder.physik.uni-ulm.de> in gmane.test
<http://thread.gmane.org/v94px7cjcs.fsf@marauder.physik.uni-ulm.de>
(BTW: Loom, Gmane's web interface doesn't show the articles
correctly.)


`message-strip-subject-encoded-words' doesn't correct a similar
problem which was mentioned in
<news:v9irka2xuc.fsf_-_@marauder.physik.uni-ulm.de>:

The following encoding of "wöchentlich?" is wrong:

| Subject: wrong encoding: =?utf-8?Q?w=C3=B6chentlich??=

This is correct:

| Subject: wrong encoding: =?utf-8?Q?w=C3=B6chentlich=3F?=

Gnus doesn't detect the mistake and the subject in a reply will be
double encoded as well (which is technically correct, but maybe a
little more "liberal what you accept" might be okay):

Bye, Reiner.
