Larry's mail was *marked* as UTF-8, but by the time I got it it
had no French quotes in it in UTF-8, Latin-1, or any other encoding anymore.  
My mailer understand UTF-8 just fine, and so does vim (which I used to
look at my spool file to check for encoding oddities); in my copy of his
message, there's just nothing there.  All I can think is that some MTA
along the way - possibly our very own Exchange server - stripped them out.
