Clearly you didn't read anything I'd written. It's NOT a function of the
newsreader. The newsreader outputs the article it receives to another
process, either a terminal emulation (which is my case), it's built-in
character cell display, or a GUI.
The translation is set in the process that displays, which
may be separate from the newsreader. The newsreader's composer may be
told to use a different translation that the one used for reading. The
composer doesn't necessarily call a function to change the translation
from what was declared in the precursor article to what's being used in
followup.
The problem WAS NOT the original poster's choice of news software
because THE POSTER IS A BOT MAKING AN AUTOMATED POST SHILLING FOR A
WEBSITE. It's not a newsreader but a gateway between the Web and Usenet.
The problem is that the bot declared a character set translation that
was expected to be used by certain physical terminals from the early
'80s or specific brands of monitors. Four decades later, who is using a
setup anticipating that translation?
That would be no one. No one at all.

If you don't intend to pay attention to the answer given in followup, then
don't ask the question to begin with.
