On the USENET side, you had these headers, which are mutually incompatible:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

The fault is arising in the gateway or your MUA.

Strictly speaking, there is no standard that permits non-ASCII material
on USENET, although the de facto position is that MIME is permitted.
There are still some important USENET user agents that are not MIME
aware and USENET can get transported over non-TCP channels.
