There is no other way standard way to encode those headers, for non-ASCII
text, besides RFC 2047 encoding, the process you’ve asked how to
suppress. (And even that standard is only applied to Usenet by a process of
widespread looking-the-other-way.) So, what you’re asking is “this text is
illegible because some web archiving software is broken. How do I make it
illegible (perhaps in a different way, but I haven’t specified if that’s
necessary)?” Not a very constructive question.
This piece of advice will transform all non-ASCII characters in the relevant
headers to a full stop, and may be enough for you if you add it to your
initialisation file:
(defadvice rfc2047-encode-message-header
(before my-rfc2047-encode-message-header-change activate)
"Replace non-ASCII characters in the headers with . if the region contains
soc.culture.china. "
(goto-char (point-min))
(while (re-search-forward "[^\001-\177]" nil t)
(replace-match ".")))
But I can’t read minds. What you should be doing is telling the maintainers
of the web archive software to fix their program.

Russian has no phoneme that corresponds directly to Germanic /h/. As a
result, for a not-insignificant number of people, the Second World War
involved the Soviet Union defeating Адольф Гитлер, “Adolf Gitler.”
