I suspect it's only me (I'm special that way) :-(
It's not the "ó" in your name. It's the Sender in the From field, which
gets copied into the body.
Relevant header bits:-
X-Injected-Via-Gmane: http://gmane.org/
To: debian-user@lists.debian.org
From: =?iso-8859-1?q?Camale=F3n?= <-- see the Sender name in the From
field? Somehow the "iso-8859-1 q Camale" section is being stripped out
and the "=F3n" becomes the Sender, which I see in Icedove and the gmail
web interface as a black diamond.
Continued....
Mime-Version: 1.0

Thanks for the input Ralf - I didn't actually have a problem with your
(usual) emails - you only got dragged into this as I used a header from
one of your emails as an example of an email that did read fine.
Cheers, I shall have a bit of a sleep on this and pursue it tomorrow.
