Well, I might be mistaken, so I thank anyone who corrects me.

I think the best way is to make `mm-coding-system-priorities' a
group parameter and have a value per group.  For example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; Set the default value of `mm-coding-system-priorities'.
(eval-after-load "gnus-sum"
  '(add-to-list
    'gnus-newsgroup-variables
    '(mm-coding-system-priorities
      . '(iso-8859-1 koi8-r utf-8))))

;; Prefer `koi8-r' in the fido7 hierarchy.
(add-to-list
 'gnus-parameters
 '("\\`fido7\\."
   (mm-coding-system-priorities '(koi8-r iso-8859-1 utf-8))))

;; Prefer `utf-8' in the catap hierarchy.
(add-to-list
 'gnus-parameters
 '("\\`catap\\."
   (mm-coding-system-priorities '(utf-8 iso-8859-1))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I cannot recall how it behaved in the past, though.  Now it
decides whether to MIME-encode non-ASCII text in a message
header, and whether to use the 8bit encoding (which appears in
the Content-Transfer-Encoding header) in a message body.  See
the documentation of `gnus-group-posting-charset-alist' for
details.

`gnus-group-posting-charset-alist' contains the element for the
fido7 hierarchy by default.  Therefore, what you need to add
will be the following:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(eval-after-load "gnus-msg"
  '(add-to-list
    'gnus-group-posting-charset-alist
    '("^catap\\.[^,]*\\(,[ \t\n]*catap\\.[^,]*\\)*$" utf-8 (utf-8))))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
