\201 problem (only in news headers) introduced in p0.45 or p0.46

Hi!

When I post to a newsgroup I have problems with latin1 characters in
the headers.  Characters like æøåé in headers are still "mule"
encoded, this means that the From: field, as an example, is:

   From: Peter von der Ah\201\351 ...

not

   From: Peter von der Ah\351 ...

The body is OK.

The strange thing is that, whenever I send a mail, the headers are OK.

As stated in the subject line, the problem was introduced in p0.45 or
p0.46.  I have tried p0.50 and the problem is still present.

I'm using Emacs-20.3 (no MBSK, no --unibyte), and I have this Mule
setup:

       (set-language-environment "Latin-1")
       (modify-coding-system-alist 'file "" 'latin-1)


M-x describe-coding-system gives this output:

Coding system for saving this buffer:
  Not set locally, use the default.
Default coding system (for new files):
  1 -- iso-latin-1 (alias: iso-8859-1 latin-1)
Coding system for keyboard input:
  nil
Coding system for terminal output:
  nil
Defaults for subprocess I/O:
  decoding: 1 -- iso-latin-1 (alias: iso-8859-1 latin-1)
  encoding: 1 -- iso-latin-1 (alias: iso-8859-1 latin-1)

Priority order for recognizing coding systems when reading files:
  1. iso-latin-1 (alias: iso-8859-1 latin-1)
  2. iso-2022-jp (alias: junet)
  3. iso-2022-7bit 
  4. iso-2022-7bit-lock (alias: iso-2022-int-1)
  5. iso-2022-8bit-ss2 
  6. emacs-mule 
  7. raw-text 
  8. japanese-shift-jis (alias: shift_jis sjis)
  9. chinese-big5 (alias: big5 cn-big5)
  10. no-conversion (alias: binary)

  Other coding systems cannot be distinguished automatically
  from these, and therefore cannot be recognized automatically
  with the present coding system priorities.

  The followings are decoded correctly but recognized as iso-2022-7bit-lock:
    iso-2022-7bit-ss2 iso-2022-7bit-lock-ss2 iso-2022-cn iso-2022-cn-ext iso-2022-kr

Particular coding systems specified for certain file names:

  OPERATION	TARGET PATTERN		CODING SYSTEM(s)
  ---------	--------------		----------------
  File I/O	"\\.gz\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'"
					(no-conversion . no-conversion)
		"\\.tgz\\'"		(no-conversion . no-conversion)
		"\\.bz2\\'"		(no-conversion . no-conversion)
		"\\.Z\\(~\\|\\.~[0-9]+~\\)?\\'"
					(no-conversion . no-conversion)
		"\\.elc$"		(emacs-mule . emacs-mule)
		"\\(\\`\\|/\\)loaddefs.el$"
					(no-conversion . no-conversion)
		"\\.tar$"		(no-conversion . no-conversion)
		""			(latin-1 . latin-1)
  Process I/O	nothing specified
  Network I/O	nothing specified


Kind regards
