From the original message where I rfc2047 encoded it myself, yes. The
one after I didnʼt encode manually, and turned off the gnus encoding.

Looking at the bug archive, for Message-ID: <874k5zolz0.fsf <at> gmail.com>
we have:

From: Robert Pluĭm <rpluim <at> gmail.com>

with no rfc2047 in sight. Gmail is weird, let's go shopping :-)
