The screenshot should show exactly what I saw in the UI-View message
window. When I had copied and pasted it into my email posting, I thought
the "ÅåÖöÄä" looked correct as shown in a recent example on the list
here. My assumption is that the UTF-8 characters showed up here as
transmitted, but the font used in the UI-View message window showed
them as "hieroglyphics".
