Yes, I also ran across such postings, but I'm not sure if the
newreader should fix this things. I think it should be
better to put some pressure on google to fix this.

But I think it should possible for slrn to treat us-ascii like
the configured fallback_charset. I'll think about this, wenn I come
back from my vacation.

Cheers,
