Ok.  But I personally got to think *-coding-region should never
be used anymore.

I see, however it's not so easy to simplify the codes so as to
achieve just "what Gnus wants" perfectly (I mean using *-coding-
string for all the cases).

Instead, I've modified `mm-encode-body' for the emergency fix.
In the Emacs master, only `mml-generate-mime-1' uses it.
(`rfc2231-encode-string' uses it as well but now we use
 `rfc2047-encode-parameter' instead for encoding a file name.)

Regards,
