Something along the line, probably a webmail client, is HTML encoding the
European extended characters. "=E9" or "%E9" is a lower case "acute letter
'e'" (the letter 'e' with a tick above it leaning to the right, ASCII
#233).

Your "From:" line above reads something like this (starting after the ?Q?): 

"user'_L._(Leon)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

with the "e" in Leon actually being an "e-acute".

It's been run through the conversion more than once so it's REALLY screwed
up.

It's not XMail doing it.
