I suspect Google Groups misbehavior. Checking the OP's message and
my sent-mail folder, they both have a-hat, not a-macron. My
outbound was encoded in ISO-8859-1 and your reply came in as UTF-8,
so somewhere between here and there my a-hat became an a-macron

I'm replying in UTF-8 according to Thunderbird, so here's hoping this:

â

properly comes out as an a-hat rather than the a-macron.
