understood. this is all quite interesting (for the technical pedant such
as myself, anyway). i had an email broken by a degree sign (coming from
a
somewhat broken lotus notes), but never by an umlaut.

i have, however, noticed attachments containing duplicate messages.

i don't think anyone on this list does. although schoon has posted in
"text/enriched" once or twice, which is pretty exotic - that's a
formatted-text format that was defined years ago and obsoleted by HTML
version one. i'm at a loss to explain it's presence in a modern-day
email.
