uh..... the reason it doesn't show properly is because the charset
specified in the Content-Type header is iso-8859-1.

it needs to be set to the proper charset. and even if it were set to
the proper charset now, it's probably long since been corrupted after
all those replies.

this is not a bug in evolution
