   Oddly enough, I could read that post perfectly without doing anything!   
      
   [It was encoded in utf-7, which I guess is not so common and perhaps not   
   easy to "detect"; the headers properly _said_ it was utf-7, so a   
   newsreader shouldn't even be trying to detect anything, but maybe many   
   do anyway... (understable I suppose given the number of OE-produced   
   messages where the headers contradict the contents).]
