    Alt + Enter, Right Arrow shows that Tony's using the same
    newsreader as you (OE 6.2800.1409)

    Makes sense if you ask me. I've just had a happy few days
    Applescripting OE to give them an "integrated CRM system",
    as it were, and I'm most impressed. Although Applscript's a
    bugger if you're used to the predictability of programming
    environments where you do what the environment wants, not
    what it thinks you want. But anyway, I digress.

    That's what Tony's using, hence the quotes around "proper".
    The problem is the OP was posting non-ASCII. I'm sure Agent
    can handle it if I ask it to, but I always have my
    newsreaders and mail clients set to text-only.

    Quoted-printable, according to the headers. Using Gravity.

    From some ISO character set which I haven't bothered to look
    up (which may be the source of the problem). Either way, I
    think it's posting codes for line-ends instead of a CR/LF.

    ISO 8859-15 is just normal Latin-8 with a ? (Euro) sign
    added in. I normally have problems posting anything that's
    not 7 bit, though.

    I'm running a slightly older version of Agent than you, and
    it came up fine here!

    Charset iso-8859-15 encoded quoted-printable. The headers
    identify it correctly as such, so it should display fine.

    Perhaps your window manager is missing iso-8859-15, and
    that's causing it to dump without decoding? If you alias it
    to iso-8859-1 (latin1) it'll fix that (for most posts,
    including marc's).

    Hmmm, shouldn't you fix that? It's broken, in the manner
    usually associated with Outlook.

    That's not a euro, it's a questionmark. Your
    newsreader appears to be too broken to declare a
    charset including euro.

    So it would seem.

    I thought you'd never ask ;-)

    It's where Thompson, Rivara and Thompson can be found.

    Yeah, I'd thought it was a server issue, but looking in my
    sent items, it's clear it's not.
