I reported this bug on the ding list some time back.

Shortly after the unicode-2 branch was merged into trunk changes were
made to gnus wrt unibyte vs multibyte buffers and/or strings at the
stage where it decodes article bodies.

The change broke much (all?) UTF-8 mail which has an 8bit CTE.

It had worked fine (in the unicode-2 branch) until then.
