OK, in that case we could indeed just call decode-coding-string.

Please re-read the original bug report: the problem is with malformed
messages that do not contain a charset field in the Content-Type header.
The one-liner patch changes the default for inline display in the
Gnus article buffer to assume UTF-8 when nothing is specified, rather
than just inserting the text without decoding it.
That should result in text that actually is UTF-8 being displayed
correctly, and no change to plain ASCII. For anything else, the user can
use the `gnus-mime-view-part-as-charset' command to override the
default.
