                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This means the mail was too big. Gnus was affraid that the mail server
refused it,  so, it asked you to  split, and did so,  because you said
yes.

Here,  I suppose  you actually  forwarded a  mail, so,  these  are the
headers of the forwarded mail, not from yours.

The forwarded mail itself contained attachments.

The first attachment was in base64. Not the first part of mail.

                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
So, this is effectively the second part of the message.

This part  is in quoted  printable. Probably the first  part contained
only   the    attachment   in   base64,   so,    with   no   non-ascii
characters. That's why is didn't have to get special encoding. 

This  one  also contains  the  end  of  your message,  with  non-ascii
characters, so, Gnus posted it in quoted printable.

I see no problem in these headers, but you might see clearer ... ? 

C'est énervant, d'être Français et  de devoir mettre tous ces accents,
non ;-))
