Actually, you know what? I think those characters, while gmail/the browser displayed them as question marks, were actually boxes when I pasted them into notepad. In fact, I kept getting the emails returned, because CF-Talk claimed they were encoded emails. I had to replace the boxes (in notepad) with real question marks, so that the mail would go through to CF-Talk. I hope that wasn't too confusing. Where do I go from here?
