It seems you're also facing problems with another postings and not just
mines... hum... curious.
Has this impact to the header or just to the mail's body?
Just the mail body. When viewed as raw I see (so something is not right
with my settings!), and when viewed in gmail it's different characters
again.
=E4
=F6
=FC
=DF
I would start thinking about Gmail's webmail.
Those incompatibilities are really annoying.
I can live with the lack of a name in the From field - as there's only
one BlackDiamondQuestion in the debian-users list :-)
That's should be me :-)
It's the occasional email like earlier where his name appears nowhere in
the email - just the symbol. It's easy enough to get lost in threads and
attribute comments to the wrong people without having to workout who the
following is:-

I'm further confused now. Camaleón sent me a direct email using Mutt
1.5.18 and UTF8 encoding. The From string in the header was:-
From: =?utf-8?B?Q2FtYWxlw7Nu?=<his@email>
Yet his name is now displayed in the From field in Icedove. I'm
presuming that's coming from my address book or somewhere because I
can't see it in the headers.
Doubly frustrating as I'm convinced it's at least partly my settings -
indecipherable symbols are an occasional problem - but it's consist with
the From string on the list, and it only affects him.
Yep, I still fail to see a clear culprit in all this mess. BTW, I'm she :-)
(note: this one is posted from Icedove)
