  Hmm, it didn't work either. Even though you're replying to my
message in UTF-8 (and clearly labeled as such in Content-Type header)
with some Ethiopian characters (which were removed in your reply), Lotus
Notes silently (without your consent) fell back to Windows-874 when you
added some Thai characters in your reply. You may have to do some more
digging to find an option/switch buried deep inside  to make Lotus Notes
use UTF-8 no matter what (or when you want) (instead of using
the 'smallest??' encoding that covers all characters in your
outgoing messages). It seems like Lotus Notes is too 'smart'......
