The problem here is that the server is recoding the message to pure
ASCII, no accented or otherwise funny chars. I've seen this sort of
thing before (and in fact it's common to see it in problem reports in
the spanish list), but I've always attributed it to sloppiness in
setting the environment. Not sure if it's client_encoding or the
console environment that's broken.
