Hal,
Thank you for your helpful and useful unraveling of the mysteries of
UTF-8, mime and unwanted control characters!
Your link to the results of the search on "Translate=" recommends the
potential practical resolution to the problem (as is observable on
this very LSTOWN list):
Version 1.8d was not very MIME-aware so a number of errors
like this are
possible. This is corrected by upgrading the site to Version
1.8e (14.0)
and/or later releases.
