Encoding problems

[Harald Wehr <hwehr@xxxxxxxxxx>]

For a project I have to provide HTML output of several german and 
english mailing lists.

The output should be in UTF8, so I took the complete utf-8-encode.mrc 
from the documentation as -rc file

Now I get problems with german mails:

The subject of a mail contains the german ä (a with diaeresis) and is 
encoded with Ä which seems to be correct.

The body of the messages contains also contains chars like ä,ö,ü (a,o,u 
with diaresis). These chars are all encoded to #xC3;

Why does this happen. What do I have to modify in utf-8-encode.mrc to 
get correct results?

Thanks

Harald
