Indeed.  While there might be some rationale for encoding stuff outside
of 7-bit printable ASCII, a typical usenet post is 7-bit printable
ASCII, or at least it should be.  Probably most people read with the 
same software they post with, and don't even realise what characters 
they are sending to the NNTP server.  :-(

I have an EDT macro to convert the stuff when I reply to a post.  This 
is something I shouldn't have to do, though.
