I entered Emacs version 21.1 with the -q option over a simple telnet. I then
evaluate (in succession):
(setq junk '(("Ê" . "\\^{E}") ("Ë" . "\\\"{E}")))
--> (("Ê" . "\\^{E}") ("Ë" . "\\\"{E}"))
What do you do to enter the character that appears here as Ê?
Likewise for Ë?
And how did you enter the \201? Or did you? I wonder if the internal
Emacs multibyte representation is somehow leaking out.

I do not see \201 anywhere, that must be a problem on your side. The raw
mail as I received it does not contain any \201 characters.

mail as I received it does not contain any \201 characters.
The 201's were visible in my buffer when I received that message. But
perhaps neither of us can tell for certain what was in the file he
sent, because of the encoding and decoding that goes on. The only way
we can really be sure is if Reingold saves that region using emacs-mule
encoding, uuencodes the file, and sends that.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't in the email I received since it did not get
near any kind of Emacs process on its way from the network to my
screen and yet there were no \201 chars to be seen.

FWIW, I read my mail with RMAIL, and I didn't see \201 in the buffer,
either.
But I agree with Richard that sending the text as an encoded binary
attachment is much more reliable.
