My "original" (written by FCC: into a local file here) message has this:

   Subject: Re: Emacs 21/22:  french =?iso-8859-1?Q?=E7?= and
    =?iso-2022-jp-2?B?GyQoRClNGyhC?=

but the copy of that same message I get via NNTP from Gmane has this:

   Subject: Re: Emacs 21/22:  french =?iso-8859-1?q?=E7?= and ^[$(D)M^[(B

where I've replaced literal ESC characters with the two-character
sequence ^[ in this reply.
