I did not do it on purpose, that garbled content was what I saw, and I 
responded/asked is it only me?

I am not using any special mail, just basic yahoo mail.  There appears to be no 
problem with this one.  What could it have been?

I normally don't see these kinds of messages, but this one came like that. I 
ask myself what could it have been?  

Thanks and sorry for asking.

Regards,

Antonio

You posted it so it includes all garbled content you have quoted.

> What could have been the problem?

It appears that your mail reader is using some hardwired encoding
instead of paying attention to a charset declaration in what was
posted.  Or maybe some intermediate mail server is "kind enough" for
you to do conversions with some random settings.

BTW - this particular message is sent with an utf-8 encoding.
