And? Due to the limitations of your technology, you're misdisplaying
the character in the iso8859-15 rxvt. That doesn't make it right; in
particular, any decent mailer will display it as currency characater,
and display an iso8859-15-tagged text with the same byte stream with
a Euro, and be able to handle a UTF-8 email with both of them.
