I did substantial research on this the last time this came up on the list, and found that no one could explain the issue in any manner that provided a solution that worked in all cases. The problem is within the browsers -- some of them send one interpretation of the accented letter to the web server, and some of them send another. I could find a solution only by trial and error that would work, one that the documentation on W3C.org contradicted, and whose preferred solution did not work in more than one browser. On an email list, you've got the additional problem of the fact that the URL is being handed off by your email client, and it may be doing something to the encoding before the URL gets to your browser (which itself may re-interpret it behind the scenes). I don't know the answer -- I gave up on it. -- David W.
