The problem in his message is he is sending in UTF-7 (some version of
Unicode *I think*) instead of ISO-Latin/8859-1 or us-ascii.

Pras, make sure you change your Language Font from "Universal Alphabet
(UTF-7)" to "Western Alphabet" so that other people can see you!

(I saw it just fine though, even though I've had munged UTF messages before.
Ah well.)
