What produces the draft when you repl(1) to Ken's, as is the faulty QP visible to you at the start of the edit? > But linemode 'show' displays it correctly as well.

What's the output of ‘locale’ in that terminal window where show(1) displays the macrons for =AF? U+00AF and 0xaf in iso-8859-1 are both macrons so is your terminal emulator trying to be ‘helpful’ and hiding the illegal encoding by falling back to ISO 8859-1 rather than showing a substitution character? What's the emulator? Has it any UTF-8 configuration? How does the email show in ‘xterm -lc’? -- Cheers, Ralph.
