There were no boxes but a peculiar line below.

Well, that indicates that your mail program either didn't understand the character encoding, or that the font you are using is missing glyphs for some of the Unicode box drawing characters.

As far as I am concerned, at some point the IETF should start on relying on some of 1990's technology being present, such as relying on certain Unicode code points to be readable by everybody. That being said, at least on Win XP the standard fonts seem to support only a subset of the Unicode box drawing characters, which is a shame.

Best regards, Julian
