Anyone else noted how, now that Unicode is becoming slightly more  
widespread, weird glyphs have started cropping up again?

I think (sensible) mail clients use the simplest character set and  
encoding they can gat away with, when sending mail.

What comes back after it's gone to a list server can be (and usually  
is) different. :-)

If I receive a plain mail with some Windows character set and weird  
encoding (like base64) then that's what gets sent out again if I  
reply. [ I don't usually talk to Windows users though... :-) ]

As long as your client can cope with internet standards, everything  
should be fine.

In this case, I'm guessing it's Øyvind's email client, since the rest  
of us received it OK.
