I often receive broken UTF-8 messages. People quote UTF-8 texts with
German "umlauts" and treat these texts as iso-8859-1 encoded resulting
in escapes instead of 'ß', for example:
> 'Die Stadt heiÃ\237t "Lutherstadt Wittenberg".'
heißt (corrected)
"\237" and some other escapes can often occur and then the text is
disturbed with many blue fragments.
Messages written in French often contain non-breaking spaces
intentionally and legitimately; adding a special marker to them destroys
the text (Stefan Monnier explained it in a previous message).
