Replying to Ed's email from my TB does result in a well-formatted UTF-8 email, both in gmail and other providers. I am still curious as to why your reply changed the encoding, given your TB settings are the same as mine, unless UTF-8 is somehow broken on your machine, Basil.
But you are not using a normal ISP for your mail - you are using gmail as your mailbox! :-) If you were to go back and see what I wrote to Ed (hell! or did I write it to him in a private message? :-( - cannot remember), I deliberately changed the configuration of TB by CHECKING the box 'When possible, use the encoding of the original message' or some such in Edit/Preferences/Display/Advanced so that I returned to him what his message looked like when I received it. I really don't know what is going wrong or who is to blame but all I do know is that if someone uses UTF-8 as the encoding of text in their mailer then what I see in TB is weird chars. Also, if I deliberately alter my setting for Incoming mail (under the Advanced option mentioned above) I can see weirdo chars in what otherwise appeared a normal message before I changed the setting from 8859-1 to UTF-8. This has been already discussed some days ago when I talked about seeing a black diamond with a white question mark in the middle of it.
