Take a look at the mail's raw text yourself. It does not contain any charset information and the mail body text does not contain any accented characters at all, but only question marks in certain locations where one would expect accented characters. All YAM can do is to display the mail exactly as it is. There is no conversion error.

Furthermore there are some escape sequences around the header lines which should not be there. Where do these come from?

Well, I don't know what is happening but I receive mails like that every now and then from several customers of us, so I wanted to notify it. But if this is due to a whatever problem on the customer side, then good, I know, I can explain to the customers to look into their configurations.

About the escape sequences, sorry but I have no idea where they come from, I just received the mail like that!
