Ok, here's the issue, in case anyone is interested (internationalization...):
The email client used was Thunderbird. And Thunderbird uses by default the following encoding: Western ISO-8859 ...also known as... ISO 8859-2 Central European So the MySQL db needed to use the same encoding or "the corresponding collation" (which is "latin2_general_ci") in order to encode special characters such as 'ü' or 'é' correctly.
