OK, I think we have it here.  From your mail headers:

X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook 8.5, Build 4.71.2173.0

It looks like outlook is screwing up and trying to read "=19" (that should read:
equals-sign 1 9, no spaces) as an ISO character-set escape.  This has bitten
others: IIRC Applixware had to change their mailer because their (correct) mails
were being read as garbage by outlook (outlook being the standard, of course, one
can't expect Microsoft to fix it to conform to the real standard).

In the append line you need to replace the 2 character sequence "square-symbol 5"
by the 4 character sequence "equals-sign digit-1 digit-9 digit-1".
