You're looking at the encoding of the HTML page which displays only the 
body and a few selected headers, copied from Nikos' post. It has no 
connection to the encoding of the post itself.

If you're using Thunderbird, or some other mail/news client, there is 
usually an option to View Raw Post or View Entire Message or something 
similar. Use that on the original post, not the web archive.
