It seems to me that people in newsgroups should stick to ASCII.

So, you want the entire world to use the American Standard Code?

No, only those who wish to communicate in an English language newsgroup.

Look, nobody is forcing you to use a MIME-aware newsreader. It may be that
there is none that runs on VMS. In that case you have a choice: Use VMS and
not see all characters right, or see the characters but not on VMS. Decide
what's more important to you.

VMS is a given to me, newsgroups are secondary.
