i use mu4e, not Rmail; i was addressing your earlier remark:

i thought that the fact that both an mu4e user (me) and an Rmail 
user
(Charles) are experiencing the same issue ("The encoding issue I
mentioned seems to only apply to the saving of the mail buffer 
into the
file specified in the FCC header") /even though/ mu4e uses 
message.el
and Rmail doesn't, might indicate a common cause lying deeper in 
Emacs'
internals.

But if you think that this is just a coincidence of results, and 
that
there are actually two different issues in play, i'll certainly 
defer to
your knowledge and experience. Hopefully next time the issue 
appears for
me, i'll be able to narrow it down to a minimal working example.
