In KMail I've set the charset to iso-8859-15.  But then again, I 
don't use KMail for html.  My guess is, that our American friends 
here (using US-ASCII or some Windows charset) won't be able to read 
Scandinavian characters like Ã, à and à or even the Euro-symbol â.
Those signs will most likely produce garbage on their screens.  And 
to why you can see the escape-strings : if I'd embedded this post 
in <html><body>this message</body></html> you wouldn't.
