so this is kind of bizarre.  we have an automated script that people
send mail to and list what they've been doing.

just to be silly, i've taken to using characters like '¤' as bullets in
mine.  the script that handles this sends out messages with a content
type of us-ascii instead of iso-8859-1.

what's strange is that the first time i view the message, the characters
show up, however if i re-enter the folder and view it again, it shows up
as a '?' unless i change the content type by hand.

why does it work the first time? shouldn't the pager's behavior be
consistent here?
