Interesting...when I look at

https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/vim_use/rDgZc-az5I4

in Firefox, it shows as the three characters "i-with-umlaut,
inverted-question-mark, one-half", and viewing the source shows me
the content as it shows when I view-source on the message in my
sent-mail, thought the â character shows up as a
black-lozenge-containing-white-question-mark in FF.

It also seems that the OP's original inbound message came with the
following among the headers:

Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?Typing_"=C3=A2"_problem?=
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

which was somewhat strange to me. Which also explains why
Thunderbird chose to reply in ISO-8859-1

Anyways, it is what it is.
