That's almost always cp1252, often mislabeled as iso-8859-1 or
us-ascii, or even unlabeled. I use these settings in GNUS to cope:
(setq gnus-newsgroup-ignored-charsets
'(unknown-8bit x-unknown us-ascii iso-8859-1))
(setq gnus-default-charset 'cp1252)
I.e. I disable using the MIME parameters for us-ascii and iso-8859-1
and set the default to cp1252 instead. This has worked fine so far
for me. Real us-ascii or iso-8859-1 messages don't have a problem
with this, as cp1252 is a proper superset of iso-8859-1.
cp1252 is in lisp/international/code-pages.el in CVS Emacs.
so long, benny
