That historical discourse about emacs MUAs is very interesting, but
how do I MIME-encode headers and create attachments in that same gnus?
Headers are automatically encoded when necessary, attachments are made
with C-c C-a in the message buffer or via the menu.
Its own '.texi' does not say much about it. All I have is
MML menus.
Composing mail is described in the Message manual.
What if I am on tty?
Gnus doesn't notice the difference,
How do I control charset of encoded words in headers?
If you type a Latin-2 character, the latin-2 MIME type will be used. Etc,
you do not normally need to indicate to Gnus anything about the charsets,
but for details see the Emacs MIME manual.
It appears that current version of gnus lacks documentation badly.
Did you see the Message and Emacs-MIME manuals? I think most of what you
ask are covered by them.
