   NNTP is also specified to be UTF-8, which is a superset of ASCII.   
      
   "This specification extends NNTP from US-ASCII [ANSI1986] to UTF-8   
      [RFC3629].  Except in the two areas discussed below, UTF-8 (which is   
      a superset of US-ASCII) is mandatory, and implementations MUST NOT   
      use any other encoding."
