I'll second that.  I noticed, though, that your message also uses a 
nonstandard MIME type which my newsreader complains about but at 
least doesn't choke on:

Mime-version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"
Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit

How does one put utf-8 into a 7-bit encoding, anyway?  Or is this
Microsoft's attempt at cognitive dissonance?  :)
