Hi Juan, no one thinks you are as far, Gordon just mentioned his mailer doesn't cope and the mail admin told him he should get a newer mail client, the rest was just noise. I am curious why Evolution is sending email in base 64 though for purely geeky reasons. The ISP you use mail server appears to advertise 8bit MIME, and you have utf-8 as character set. I tried email with some Spanish characters cut and pasted from your email into Evolution here (which hasn't been reconfigured for 7 years but still started okay - Debian is cool sometimes), and it sends it with content-transfer-encoding: 8bit. I tweaked it to use UTF-7 as default and it still sends as UTF-8 (surely a bug?), and I sent an email in UTF-7 and it looked identical. I see a few odd characters in headers that make me think Evolution still has "features" I wouldn't like in an email client. Is perhaps the ISP not advertising 8BIT MIME on the SMTP submission port - a quick telnet or openssl command should show it if you are up for typing SMTP manually. Not that it matters in the big scheme of things, but almost all email systems are 8bit clean, and can take UTF-8 encoded email without any content-transfer-encoding (8bit is just an identify operation).
