Paul's messages appear fine here also, but comparing his messages with
those of others using GPG signing (and hence using quoted-printable),
the difference is that there is no 'charset' declared:
(Paul)
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
(Damon)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
(Andrew)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
(Various others)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
(One other)
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
And so on.
With no charset value, maybe the strange characters are because of some
weird default character set on the system used to view the message?
