This came over the wire as follows: > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" > Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable [...] > I wrote this as one dollar =3D> $1.00 > This as one pound =3D> $1 > And this as one euro =3D> =E2=82=AC1 > Lastly one cent =3D> =C2=A21 IOW, it has the correct headers to unambiguously decode the text. Whether the receiving software is competent enough to handle Q-P UTF-8 text is something else entirely, especially if it's in an obscure or recently-added script or symbol set where suitable fonts don't exist or haven't been installed, but your example doesn't contain any difficult code points. The correct Q-P UTF-8 encoding for "£" is "=C2=A3". (I've dealt with so much broken software that I know this without looking it up.) It seems likely that it got mangled by something at your end in whatever converts it to "modern" (1993) email format.
