Milan,

In this case the message does not make it into local cache. Courier
finds some error when it communicates with Evolution and sends a
"placeholder" (don't ask me for more details - I am not familiar with
the code!). I feel sure that if it had, it would display correctly just
like the local copy in "On My Computer".

Not sure what's changed between Courier 0.75 and 1.0 - but one of the
features of the Courier 1.0 release was implementing Unicode email...

Neil.
