Problem with Xnews is that it doesn't give any header information 
regarding charsets, encoding and so forth. This can be really bad for 
readers (Mozilla is one, and basically all readers on Linux) that 
/first/ look at the header and /then/ decide how to display a message. 
If you use an 8-bit character, Xnews will not declare it as such -  then 
a strict Mail/Newsreader (again, Mozilla for example) doesn't know what 
to do with it.
