 You won't believe me but the answer is ...

... because of this #%@%!#@! trailer.

 Brief explanation: your message is indeed encoded in QP and so =E7 should
indeed appear as � (c cedille) in the viewer. However because SF put the
trailer which contains "= " (in the 2nd line) which is an invalid
combination of characters in a QP-encoded message ('=' must be always
followed by 2 hex digits), cclient refused to decode the body text and so
it is shown to you in Mahogany undecoded.

 I sent a message to the cclient list about this but I don't expect this to
be changed (I'd be astounded if Mark Crispin started to worry about users'
concerns all of a sudden... programs must work correctly, not be
user-friendly as we all know... grrr). Instead I'll just write my own
QP-decoding routine which will ignore the invalid character combinations.

 Thanks for reporting this,
VZ
