The relevant RFC (2046?) specifies that the user agent should use
the "least common denominator" for the text being sent, so it's
possible that it will use US-ASCII unless you specifically include
something that is not representable in 7 bits.  See, for example,
the headers on this post and the headers on my recent posts in the
DBCS thread, which contain 8-bit characters.  Same newsreader,
same settings, different charsets.
