                                ^^^ this is a €/EURO sign

my message is wrapped in a mime-enclosure of type

| Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

making the EURO sign perfectly legal with a 3-byte code.

Karl's response is wrapped in

| Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

oops, no more multibyte characters allowed.

@Karl: did you ever use the EURO sign when communicating with
       your bank?
