I think my MTA's fine.  And I think my terminal (urxvt) is fine.  It's
likely X fonts.  I'm using 7x13, which is an alias of
-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal--13-120-75-75-c-70-iso8859-1

Gotta love X and fonts and unicode and ...=20

Trying a few obvious things (setting locale, other tricks...).

Hrm.  That's a point.  I like X-headers myself, as they're pretty much
assured safe.


Peace.

    Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not
    tried it.
