No, `gnus-summary-show-article-charset-alist' is only an abbreviation
for frequently encountered charset.  If a number N is not present in
`gnus-summary-show-article-charset-alist' (or if it's nil), `N g'
prompts for a charset.  (But that's what the doc string says.  Didn't
you read it or is it unclear?)

E.g. I have ((12 . windows-1252) (0 . iso-8859-15) (8 . utf-8)) which
is easy to remember and sufficient for me.  I rarely need other
charsets.  (Of course, I mostly read articles with charsets typically
used in (Western) Europe.)

Bye, Reiner.
