Scott, let's see if this works: open Icedove and create a new folder
(name it "test" or "the dark oracle", at your wish...). Then copy here
(do not move but copy as we don't want to mangle nor lose your e-mails) a
bunch of my e-mails that show the bad character.
Then right-click over that folder and select "Properties". In the first
tab you will find an option for character encoding. If it is set to
"utf-8" change it to "iso-8859-1" (or viceversa, if it is set to
"iso-8859-1" set it to "utf-8"). Check "[x] Apply the default..." and
click "Accept" or "OK".
I tried that, and most of the available character encodings - none fixed
all of the weird characters. I also tried with "Apply default to all
messages in the folder (individual message character encoding settings
and auto-detection will be ignored)" unselected.
I asked you to test this because of this:
Wheezy, Icedove with utf-8 encoded folder:

Wheezy, Icedove with iso-8859-1 encoded folder (this is the default):
http://picpaste.com/pics/Pantallazo-1-wcCjXhKb.1307792270.png
You see? I also get the black diamond but *only* when I force a utf-8
encoding for the folder it contains the messages and click on "apply
default to all messages in the folder..." :-)
So... what is your default character encoding for the mail folders in
Icedove?
I'm wondering if my use of localepurge and only the one locale
LANG="en_AU.UTF-8" LANGUAGE="en_AU:en" might be part of the problem.
To that end I'm reading up on locales and character encoding in Debian -
I'll then try a few variations in a VirtualBox machine, including trying
another email agent. It'll probably take a couple of days to find the
time - but I'll post my results when I resolve the issue.
Have you tried to load the offending message under Evolution or another
MUA? If another e-mail client also loads the wrong character, you may be
facing a system locale mess. If Evo loads it fine, then Icedove is the
one to blame which ineed was my first suspect ;-)
(put drums here)
??
He, he... It was a kind of drum taps announcing an event :-)
