This is so weird!!! (Yes it's the right one)

First, I've struggled with this bug since 1.4.0, never finding the time
to really track it down. Then, after I finally start to get to it today,
I find that somebody else has tracked down the exact size to make it
break (5183 bytes, regardless of location, body or headers) just a
couple of hours earlier :)

Second, trying to work around the problem, I set my default character
encoding to UTF-8 before I sent my original mail to the list. After I
received it again, the characters displayed ok. However, in your
quotation (above) they are again garbled.
