I don't know: I am asking you why you prefer UTF-8 in the cases where
your message does not contain any characters outside of US-ASCII.

If memory serves, Gnus will try to use the simplest encoding that allows
all the characters in the message - to maximise the number of
people/systems that can read the message.

My messages are often in iso-8859-1, because my name contains a
character in that charset; but if I use some unicode characters, my
message will be encoded in utf-8…

Basically my question is: Why do you want to override this mechanism?
