It didn't improve anything.


Here it the relevant part of the last message, as it appears on
the wire:

Content-type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=utf-8; reply-type=original
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

It's a Byte Order Mark

Any mail-reader designed since the Pleistocene should know what
to do with it.

My suggestion: Continue sending things as they are now.
Ignore complaints from mailers that can't cope with unicode.

To those who have mailers that can't cope, I suggest you
download a copy of thunderbird. It's free, and it works.
