Er... turn off MIME...?  Why...?

If you mean for sending, then you can put the following in your
~/.emacs (I hope Morioka Tomohiko won't be too unhappy with me
revealing this, but it is actually to recommend for a Dane using ISO
8859-1 on USENET from a vanilla GNU Emacs)


(add-hook 'message-setup-hook
      (lambda ()
	; Avoid posting Q-P
	(mime-editor/toggle-transfer-level 8)
	; Avoid having USENET headers RFC 1522 encoded
	 (setq mime/no-encoding-header-fields
	       (append mime/no-encoding-header-fields
		       '("Subject" "From" "To" "In-Reply-To")))
	 ))
