Neither string you pasted are UTF-8. And your email was UTF-8 encoded but 
the character missing was replaced on your end. If the second one is 
Latin1, the file is named "Cýdigo".

I'm guessing it should have been "Código", i.e. 67 243 100 105 103 111.

That's confirmed by downloading the file and listing it with tar in 
konsole:

$ tar -tvf attachment.cgi\?id=25631
drwxr-xr-x knuckles/users    0 2008-06-26 13:31 Bug/
drwxr-xr-x knuckles/users    0 2008-06-26 13:32 Bug/C\363digo/
-rw-r--r-- knuckles/users    0 2008-06-26 13:32 
Bug/C\363digo/someotherfile.txt
drwxr-xr-x knuckles/users    0 2008-06-26 13:32 Bug/Relat\363rio/
-rw-r--r-- knuckles/users    0 2008-06-26 13:32 
Bug/Relat\363rio/somefile.txt

(0363 in octal is 243 in decimal)

But as you can see from tar itself, the files are not properly encoded to 
my locale (UTF-8). We removed the compatibility code in QString in Qt 4.3 
after several years there to support the conversion to UTF-8.

It's time people stopped using legacy encoding. The tar file bugzilla is 
broken. We don't have to support it.
