Strange: last times I received mails from Hotmail, they were nearly
correctly labelled. And accented characters were perfectly readable. The
MIME triplet was:
| Mime-Version: 1.0
| Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1; format=flowed
Ahum... no third CTE field for a 8 bits body? This could perhaps
lead some MTA on the road to clip 8th bit, but seems not: you would
see incorrect letters, not question marks.
Please quote us the full header of such a mail, so we can see if
there is a problem there. Other thing: the Hotmail web interface can be
configured to many languages, wich one was selected by this person? This
could influence the declared charset on her outgoing mails.
Bye! Alain.
