This appears due to the fact 8-bit data is not always allowed in e-mail
headers. This is the way to tell the e-mail client to use the respective
upper ascii chars and the correct encoding. Insight should deal with these
sort of problems (as long as it does the conversion to HTML...)

I use Pine right now (i'm on a linux box), and Joerg's name appears
written correctly when viewing the message list. No "=?iso.." and the
"o" has two dots above.
