Or his cousin.

Based on the message buffer I have, gnus didnʼt encode it again, so it
must have been gmail. Of course that header was ascii-only, so why did
they encode again?

What did the From: look like on the message you've just replied to?
Gnus should not have encoded it, and it contained utf-8 in the display
name.
