Now that you can use UTF-8, does that mean you can reply to this,
without the text turning into gibberish?

Ugh.  Mutt has decided that since this can be entirely encoded as
iso-latin-1, it will.  So, I have to insert an obligatory higher UTF-8
character: • to force the message to be UTF-8.

I confirm that I received it as UTF-8, and it appears to display all the characters properly, and in a decent font now.

And tBird is telling me that this outgoing message is UTF-8 also, and the characters appear to be unchanged. But I don't think it was my replies that were changing the text. I think it was someone else.

This is interesting. I just responded to Todd's reply, and his was not UTF-8. His had changed the © and ­® symbols to (c) and (r) and sent it out as Western (ISO-8859-1). I didn't pay attention, but I wonder what other things got changed in his mail program.
