Because my name is Löfdahl and Wesley's software (and other software
too, I have noticed) chose to represent it as L\\vfdahl (see his
message). The "v" is an "ö" where the eighth bit has been zeroed, and
I guess the two backslashes is an escape sequence that should tell you
that that is what has happened.

Yes, I might have to do that, but that would only be a stupid piece of
code to fix just my problem. I guess someone who knows more about
gnus and what different news/email software might do to from-addresses
(that's where the "Löfdahl" came from in the first place) could do a
more general fix. (But I am not demanding a fix - with the number of
good things gnus already does with the messages I read, I thought this
might already be in there somewhere. Surely I can't be the only
gnuser with non-ascii letters in my name.)
