There seems to have been more talking at cross-purposes in this thread
that I usually see! (:-))

However, personally I was totally unable to understand what you were
talking about in your examples, because they came out as gibberish in
my mail reader ('mutt')!  My default encoding is UTF-8, but looking
at the mail headers, you were using Windows-1252, and that was being
encoded into 'quoted-printable'.  As I didn't have the 1252 encoding,
things didn't work out right!

Somehow the 'vi' I'm using to reply *has* figured things out, so this
probably does look right (I suspect it will be sent as UTF-8 -- we'll see):

So, I guss the point of this mail is to ask folks to be careful what
encodings they use, if they expect to be understood worldwide.
