As for UTF-8 and NNTP, the standard is built around 7-bit ASCII messages.
Anything else is supposed to be encoded, whether by quoted-printable or
base64. Of course people write newsreaders (and we mostly get this with
non-Latin character set languages) that post raw, unencoded 8-bit data. It's
a "naughty" thing to do, but most article parsers can handle it if the
programmer is clever enough to use heuristics.
