Now why should the characters have been completely lost?

Because someone is posting to Usenet without understanding the rules.
Everything is required to be ASCII[1] unless you explicitly invoke an
extension, e.g., MIME. Had the article using 8859-2 specified
charset=iso-8859-2 then a news reader correctly supporting MIME would
have displayed it properly.

[1] I would like to see that changed to UTF-8, but mine seems to
be a minority position.
