Its could be an encoding issue. The Swedish character set is quite different, even when it comes to plain text. Setting it to Unicode may do the trick.

  Well, your mail client is definitely the issue, as I said. The
  response from the judge indicating that what it got from you contained
  this:

  myMasterPwd=0Adesc

  means that things got sent all jammed together on a single line (rich
  text not plain text). You can't blame the judge for not
  understanding. :-)
