Hi,

I'm also struck by Sup's UTF-8 weirdnesses,
and can't get German szetz to display correctly
(and they mess with the line width as well).
The other umlauts work though, and I don't know why.

I'd also appreciate work on sending utf-8,
though subject encoding is a weird beast.
(And my ruby skills are 'by transfer' only as well).

So long,
