i18n issues: wrong encoding

i18n issues: wrong encoding

[Sam Steingold]

usually, the Cyrillic messages I receive (via IMAP) are displayed properly.
alas, every now and then I see garbage (umlauted vowels).
when that happens, I have to open the message in Evolution (or
Thunderbird) - it is displayed as garbage there too, of course! - then
go to the menu -> View -> Character Encoding -> [try several encodings
until the message is readable].

How do I do the same in gnus/emacs (emacs cvs head)?
I.e., how do I change the encoding of a given buffer?
