O.K....so the ascii vs 8859-1 char set thing got me on a trail to a
message talking about quoted-printable HTML encoding. The acceptable
options are 7bit, quoted-printable and base64. Low and behold the conf
file for phplist defaults at quoted-printable encoding. Changed it to 7
bit and the 3D disappears.
--snip from conf--
# you can specify the encoding for HTML messages here.
# This only works if you do
# not use the phpmailer (see below)
# the default should be fine. Valid options are 7bit, quoted-printable
# and base64
define("HTMLEMAIL_ENCODING","7bit");
/--snip--
--snip from RFC 2045-- (http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2045.html)
The quoted-printable and base64 encodings transform their input from an
arbitrary domain into material in the "7bit" range, thus making it safe
to carry over restricted transports. The specific definition of the
transformations are given below.
/--snip--
Supposedly it doesn't hurt anything if they are there although Evolution
doesn't like it and when I copied the html message into an actual html
file things were broken.
two more short links if interested about the subject.
