I experience the same with a 3.0.11 installation. Updating Perl from 
5.8.0 to 5.8.5 didn't solve the problem.

Hmm. Our mails leave RT correctly encoded in utf-8. So the problem is 
only on the receiving side.

As stated before, we have the problem right from the start with 3.0.11.

Any hints are welcome as this is a bit annoying. I also have the 
feeling attachments become corrupted as well. There are a couple of RTF 
and DOC attachments that can't be opened correctly.
