I have no idea, I know nothing about Macintosh. But as the coding
system mac-roman doesn't have `mime-charset' property, I think Gnus
should prefer some other codings that have mime-charset property.
Even if mac-roman is used, at least there should be a warning like the
way sendmail-send-it does via select-message-coding-system.
