Accented characters disappearing
Posting to ping.fm by EMAIL, using accented characters (é, à, ô, ê, ç, ', etc) get messed up results. On all my services (Twitter, Identi.ca, Pownce and Tumblr), accented characters get lost, they disappear completely. In "Recent Post" on Ping.fm, they are replaced by a "?" square.

Inappropriate?Did you make that post through e-mail? We're trying to fix some unicode issues within our e-mail system, so the accented characters will error for some reason.

Yes Sean, the 5th word is "email" in all caps. ;) I did post by email. Hahaha.
I noticed you guys already fixed the ' char from being escaped (as in \' ) in the email posts.
Thanks for looking into the problem and answering so quickly. -

Don't be too hard on yourself. People make mistakes (and moreso READING mistakes) when they are busy. So to me it's a good sign. ;) Keep up the good work.

Inappropriate?Daniel Santos pointed a solution on another thread. The problem seems to be in the encoding of the sent email. If I configure my Gmail account to send UTF-8 encoded characters, the Ping is fine elsewhere. The problem is when I send the emails from my Blackberry, which is where I use Ping.fm the most.
I will need to contact my Blackberry provider and ask how to change email encoding on outgoing email. Their online tool is ... lacking to stay in good taste.
I'll keep the folks updated on the progress.
I’m optimistic.
