   How can it be determined by the OS and protocol? I thought the required   
   encoding depended on the settings of the NNTP gateway...

   Thank you.  This options lets me read Russian Fidonet echoes on this   
   server, but I still cannot post.  Although I made sure my editor (Vim)   
   saves the files in koi8-r (set fenc=koi8-r), Tin warns me that I am   
   posting in UTF-8 and replaces the Russian characters with question   
   marks...
