Hallo mark!

 ml> the screenshot is how it is in my message base, though

Understood.  I realize that many (most?) will see the characters in
question in their two byte forms, with the characters presented to them
within their native codepage, cp437 in your case.  The important thing is
that whenever there is a 0x8d character it shouldn't ever get deleted.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
