This has been driving me crazy, too. Thanks to you both for resolving
it! I didn't save a recent email from him but I had an old one and
the headers showed this:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"
His recent email, which looked fine to me as well, had this:
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by [my internal server]
So perhaps our mail systems were not recognizing his emails as
quoted-printable and didn't know to convert?
I run sendmail and MIMEDefang which can be rather brutal at enforcing
Internet mail standards so assumed the problem was on my end, since no
one else had mentioned it (until now).
