I made a typo there, 0..127, not 128 ( or [0,128) ;-) )

I'm not reading any ascii table, and I did NOT send a question mark.
IIRC I copied an a with something looking like an inverted circumflex
above. I was using gmail in ubuntu in firefox, wihich I think works in
unicode and sends mail in UTF-8, AAMOF I've looked at it and I see:

So, no question mark sent, I suspect your mail chain may be playing
tricks on you, or may be you are translating to 7 bits on purpose
since your mail came with the headers:

I'll suggest you fix that before participating in threads with unicode
content. Also, many programs use ? as a placeholder for something not
in its charset, so always suspect you are not seeing the right char
when you encounter one of this things.
