And in my RMAIL as well.

Perhaps the full listing of Brian's Mule setup ("M-x mule-diag RET") will 
help to pinpoint the problem(s).

Also, Brian, when you see non-ASCII characters displayed as empty 
squares, please move point to that character, type this "C-u C-x =", and 
post what it prints.  The result of "M-: buffer-file-coding-system RET"
in the buffer where this problem happens would also help.
