Sorry, I should have checked before uploading.
There is a nasty bug in mutt and Thunderbird, related to encoding: when a translator sends a file with TB, people who read the mail with mutt get all non ASCII characters replaced by "??" (this is because the attachment is treated as us-ascii). But, here, we have a double encoding problem (which I solved with "iconv --from utf-8 --to iso-8859-1" on the file that's in the BTS... then the result becomes correct....UTF-8..:-)) No idea where this comes from but I suspect a mistake from the translator, indeed.
