I'm testing Emacs 23 now and everything works fine.  So it seems the
problem only occurs in Emacs 22.

However, it seems the problem happens on _sending_ which confuses me.
Maybe the old patch just worked around the problem, and made \201 in
incoming e-mail disappear?  However, I think I would have noticed this
before anyway, because all my posts to mailing lists and news also has
\201 before any non-ascii character now (with Emacs 22) but I don't
think that has been the case before applying this patch.
