Grml, thouse were supposed to be footnotes. Don't know, why mutt mangled
this mail back to latin1, it was supposed to be in an utf8 encoding.

Same thing happened to me on this list, a couple of days ago.

I've only seen this happen on this list, which happens to also be a
google group.

What makes you think mutt is the culprit?

Well, the other time too, mutt was somehow involved; this could be a coincidence however, with the real culprit being for instance (let's venture a guess) some mail router along the line with out-of-date non-8bitMIME-capable software. I know my own ISP's routers handle 8bitMIME correctly, or at least acceptably, because I've received time and again in the past UTF-8 mail (which contained more than only 7-bit ASCII characters) in 8bit Content-Transfer-Encoding, and it displayed beautifully; or some rare times, I received it in quoted-printable with headers saying it had been converted from 8bit to quoted-printable along the way, and the conversion was correct; however I've been told that the non-8bit-capable mail routers which once were the majority on the Web haven't yet been all upgraded or decommissionned.

This mail is in UTF-8, BTW, and I'm composing it using Mozilla SeaMonkey. The French language uses the following accented or otherwise non-ASCII characters: âà Çç éêèë îï ô œŒ ûù ŷÿ where I'm grouping them by collation equivalents. Also Euro € and paragraph §. (As you can see, French uses the diaeresis on exactly those vowels which can never have an umlaut -the same diacritic with a different function- in German. ;-) )

Best regards,
Tony.
