   Would be nice if more attention was paid to fixing mailers encoding
   "Pádraig" and "Bénézech" as "P�draig" and "B�n�zech"


If you see substitute encodings like that, it strongly suggests the problem
is your MUA, not mine.

It's yours.

You are using a local 8-bit encoding, whereas everyone else was
using UTF-8.  Your mailer re-encoded their messages into one
of the 8-bit western encodings, whereas most people use UTF-8
these days, so while their original messages with accents came
through just fine in UTF-8, your re-encoding into Western didn't
display properly.
