So œôòøthisœôòù should look nice to everyone that manages UTF-8?

It looks nice to me, with a vanilla Emacs 21 and vanilla RedHat fonts.

Err, Gnus won't let me post this mail.  QP encoding fails.  It seems
to think the (emacs) character set for this buffer should be
`eight-bit-control' instead of `mule-unicode-0100-24ff'.

Doesn't Gnus handle the Unicode stuff in Emacs 21?

(I'm manually forcing this mail to be sent anyway, if you edit the
charset=eight-bit-control into charset=utf-8 maybe it works.)

Doesn't seem to work for me, the characters look like a upside down !
and a cents character with a vertical line.
