    That's OK: It matches your LANG (downcasing and dedashing of the
charset name are not a problem), and would be good if only your
rxvt-unicode was really doing UTF-8... I suppose that:

| $ locale charmap
| UTF-8

    Hum... That should have either worked OK, or be broken differently.
Please double check:

| $ printf "d\0303\0251sabonner \0275uf\n"
| désabonner ½uf

 - If you still see "e accent aigu": It's UTF-8.
 - If you see "A tilde", copyright sign, and oeuf: Latin-9.
 - If you see "1/2" symbol: Latin-1.

    You see those \351 in some mails, but not all (not in my mails?), right?

    Generate at least 2 more variants with ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-15:
You'll be ready for most common terminals.

    Works, but not at best. ;-)
