Actually, not guilty!  I have my software set to the character set as shown, but "Quoted Printable" as the 
encoding format.  If it arrived set to 8-bit, then something on the way has changed it...

...and in fact I just checked my reply to Russell as it left me (in this thread which I renamed "[OT] 
Character sets") and it has this:

 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

When I received it back from the list, it had:

 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
 X-Scanned-By: MIMEDefang 2.42
 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
 X-MIME-Autoconverted: from quoted-printable to 8bit by pch.mit.edu id
	i8FBQ0WM017884

So pch.mit.edu (Mailman?) is the culprit!  Nice of it to confess...  :-)
