Quoted-printable is a _transfer encoding_, /not/ a charset. There's a
difference.
Where is the Euro symbol supplied in iso-8859-1/Latin-1? I don't see it.

ISO-8859-1:
Hex:
Dec:    Chr:    Code:
A4      164      ?      164     CURRENCY SIGN

ISO-8859-15:
Hex:
Dec:
Chr:
Code:
A4      164      �      8364    EURO SIGN

Just because Microsoft supplies them in their ttf fonts doesn't mean it's
also available in other fonts. To make *sure* everyone else sees the
Euro symbol as you intented it you *have to* use a charset that contains
 the �, for example IS0-8859-15.
