So you see multiple characters representing a single one, as you would in that 
case, not boxes, I take it. That would rule out a problem with the typeface, 
though that was a reasonable suggestion.

For your information, it looked alright here in your first message and Robin's 
reply, but not in your second, which would indicate that you have a problem 
in the reading, not composing.

When viewing e-mails, what do you have checked in the "Set encoding" submenu 
under the "View" menu? Viewing a UTF-8 message while having the encoding 
forcibly set to another encoding would cause the problem you seem to 
describe. "Auto" works for me, but in case it doesn't, see if forcing UTF-8 
works.
