Subject: Viewing faxes produces strange prompt

I just hit `2 b' to view a fax (MIME type image/g3), and pgnus-0.54
asked me the following question:
,-----
| The target text contains the following non ASCII character(s):
| ascii: š€...
| These can't be encoded safely by the coding system binary.
|
| Please select one from the following safe coding systems:
| iso-2022-7bit iso-2022-7bit-lock iso-2022-8bit-ss2 emacs-mule
| raw-text iso-2022-7bit-ss2 compound-text
`-----
I chose `emacs-mule' which seemed to work -- the resulting g3view
process displayed the image just fine.
I'm not sure what to make of this. Hm.
The message had three parts. The first and last part were
content-type text/plain (charset=us-ascii), content-transfer-encoding
7bit. The middle part was content-type image/g3n,
content-transfer-encoding base64.
What's the story?
