My newsreader renders this as lowercase e acute, but the Web interface 
renders it as capital A tilde-copyright, which is what happens if you 
parse UTF-8 as if it were straight 8-bit ISO 8859-1.  Actually, I've 
noticed this in your "... a écrit :" for a long time now; the 
NTTP-to-HTML converter software is making an incorrect assumption about 
the text encoding (which was probably the correct assumption before 
UTF-8 became popular)--yet, it serves its HTML as UTF-8..

Of course!  I don't have a Mac, but I've seen Yvo's posts in other 
groups.  But I am not familiar with René.
