The message was in text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1. Perhaps you need to
check your settings for character encoding.

it is set to utf-8. 8859-1 throws a '�', that is a "double grave i, an
inverted ?, an a '1/2'".

Just for your information, the two dots are called a diaeresis, not "double
grave".

EF BF BD is the UTF-8 representation of the character U+FFFD REPLACEMENT
CHARACTER, which is described as "used to replace an incoming character whose
value is unknown or unrepresentable in Unicode". I see it as a white question
mark in a black square standing on its corner. This probably means that some
program took the ISO 8859-1 text, tried to read it as if it were UTF-8, found
the byte value F3, and found that it was an invalid UTF-8 code. My guess is
that it was your Thunderbird that did this. Have you forced it to read
everything as UTF-8?

BTW it's an accented 'o' (ó).

that is what i see when you send it, but not when rui sends it.

Rui's message was encoded in ISO 8859-1. Patrick's was in UTF-8. Both reached
me unmangled. To see for yourself, press Ctrl+U and look at the
header "Content-Type".
