Red Flag

Using Seamonkey I can set a flag on a message. It appears pictorially as a flag if I enable the flag column. This is IMAP.

Is it possible to make Gnus default to Windows-1252 (or iso-8859-?) when no character set is specified in headers of news articles? I searched but only found the concept of washing, which replaces “ when encoded as octal 224 with `` for example. W Y f. A very useful function anyway.
