Emmm ... no. But I have no influence on encoding - there seems to be some "smart" algorithm behind gmail, which tries to guess which encoding to use. Usually it takes ascii or utf-8, but apparently it sometimes favors other encodings for some reason :(
On the "General" tab in Gmail settings is an option to set "Outgoing message encoding" either to "default" (= autodetect, with sometimes amusing results) or to UTF-8. --Joel
