I was quoting your ChangeLog entry:

  2011-06-27  Lars Magne Ingebrigtsen  <larsi@gnus.org>

	  * mail/smtpmail.el (smtpmail-via-smtp): Bind coding-system-for-*
	  to binary to possibly avoid line encoding issues on Windows (among
	  other things).

Btw, to _avoid_ line encoding issues on Windows, one should NOT bind
coding-system-for-read to `binary', because that binding brings the
CR-LF EOLs right into Emacs buffers.

Only partially.  Since you say netrc files can have non-ASCII
characters, we should bind coding-system-for-read to raw-text when
calling auth-source-search.  I will take care of that.

Thanks.
