We call this "article washing" for a really good reason. Namely, the A key was taken, so we had to use the W key instead.
Washing is defined by us as "changing something from something to something else", but normally results in something looking better. Cleaner, perhaps.
See section 4.3 Customizing Articles, if you want to change how Gnus displays articles by default.

Unreadable articles that tell you to read them with Caesar rotate or rot13.
(Typically offensive jokes and such.)
It's commonly called "rot13" because each letter is rotated 13
positions in the alphabet, e. g. `B' (letter #2) -> `O' (letter
#15). It is sometimes referred to as "Caesar rotate" because Caesar
is rumored to have employed this form of, uh, somewhat weak encryption.

(gnus-article-treat-dumbquotes

whether a character is a sm*rtq**t* or not, so it should only be used
interactively.
Sm*rtq**t*s are M****s***'s unilateral extension to the character map in
an attempt to provide more quoting characters. If you see something
like \222
or \264
where you're expecting some kind of
apostrophe or quotation mark, then try this wash.

Quoted-Printable is one common MIME encoding employed when sending
non-ASCII (i. e., 8-bit) articles. It typically makes strings like
`déjà vu' look like `d=E9j=E0 vu', which doesn't look very
readable to me. Note that the this is usually done automatically by
Gnus if the message in question has a Content-Transfer-Encoding
header that says that this encoding has been done.
If a prefix is given, a charset will be asked for.

Base64 is one common MIME encoding employed when sending non-ASCII

been done.
