Resending email in Gnus, figuring out charset

["Adam Sjøgren" <asjo@koldfront.dk>]

  Hi,

When I resend (S D r) an email in Gnus with headers like this:

  Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
  Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

and utf-8 chars in the content (such as →, æ, ø and å), Gnus says it
doesn't know what charset to use, and asks if if I want to send it as
ASCII anyway.

I've edebugged my way into the function mm-find-mime-charset-region in
mm-util.el, which tries to figure out what charset the region is in.

Unfortunately (raw-text no-conversion) is not something the function
knows what to do with, and thus I get the prompt.

I guess the utf-8-ification has outrun this function?

I've applied the following hack locally, but I guess it isn't the
correct solution?

diff --git a/lisp/gnus/mm-util.el b/lisp/gnus/mm-util.el
