After some further research, I am starting to think that this is a bug.
The reason is that it isn't just IBM cp1252 that is screwed up but
also ISO 8859-1 has the same problem.
When a text file composed in either code page which contains characters
>= 128 (>7F Hex) is opened wit UTF-8, it fails to properly decode the
glyphs >= 128. This happens despite the fact that the apps which I have
tried correctly count the number of glyphs before changing them to the
FFFD Hex character ?.
The >=128 glyphs which I commonly user are: äëïöüñ. Since I am sending
this email in ISO 8859-1, these characters will not appear correctly if
viewed with UTF-8.
I have found that the only solution to this problem is to set the code
page for incoming mail to either ISO 8859-1 or IBM cp 1252.
