I couldn't find a Context-Type and charset= header in your message.
Right clicking and choosing Charater Set on your message shows "None".

In plain text view, none of the characters displayed correctly. They
show combinations of European characters (my default character set):

S> katakana letter ZI: ジ

A lower-case a with a tilde, followed by a comma and a little hook
I've never seen before.

S> o with double acute: ő

Upper-case A with the (Swedish) circle on top, followed by accente
grave, which hangs in the air.

S> o with tilde: õ

Upper-case A with tilde, followed the Greek lower case letter "mi"
(the one that is used as "micro" in physics).

S> a with grave accent: à

Upper case A with tilde.

S> the Euro sign: €

Lower-case a with accente circumflex, followed by comma, followed by a
graphic character: upper right corner.

With internal HTML engine (1.54 b8), the characters are not displayd,
but I see rectangles instead. Some of these rectangles are preceded by
question marks.

Double-clicking on the attachment opens IE 5.5. Encoding is correctly
identified as UTF-8. The first two characters are displayed as
rectangles, the others correctly. I guess that is becuase I don't have
the fonts to display the first two.

Can we call this a bug? Or is UTF not officially supported, and we put
it in the wishlist?

I don't know what this means, but in the HTML engine the word
"WideCharToMultiByte" is displayed normal, while IE displayes it in
bold. That's a beta-bug and does not belong on this list. ;-)
