Sorry, I wrote the mail in a rush. I didn't try to actually input accented
chars in a html composed mail. What I did was replying a html mail with the 8bit
problem commented above: when HTML compose was active, the mail appeared with
the same problems as on the message-view-window, but if I wrote the
mails as plain text, the 8bit chars got displayed correctly. The mail quoted
above was sent like that, and you can see, the even the estrange "ó" got
encoded correctly, showing that plain text mail are well capable of encoding
8bit without problems.

I will try to see what happens with the input this evening (my evo-cvs version
is at home)

BTW, I'll keep an eye on the changelog to see when the 8bit problem is fixed,
just to inform you that everything goes fine. You can count on me to test
further things.
