I must be missing something.  My MailScanner.conf is set to us-ascii, and I
can also see the same accent characters.  I copyied the post to a text file
and sent it to myself both in the body and as an attachment and both were
visible.  Interestingly, the charset in the mime boundery headers (or
whatever they're called) said:

--Message-Boundary-6059
Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-transfer-encoding: Quoted-printable
Content-description: Mail message body

--Message-Boundary-6059
Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1
Content-transfer-encoding: Quoted-printable
Content-description: Text from file 'test.txt'

--Message-Boundary-6059--

so it was picking up the iso-8859-1 charset anyway.  Go figure.  Is this
something the mail client usually sets, or the MTA, or what?  I can
experiment further but I'm not sure where I ought to be looking to make
changes.  As nearly as I can tell here it's all a wash.  The mail flow looks
like this:

Outlook <---> Exchange 5.5 <---> MailScanner/Sendmail <---> Internet

S'later...
