I can see them OK when viewing your message in KMail. Looking at 
the raw message source I see a potential problem: The 
content-type header of your message doesn't specify the 
character set:

From: Roger Grosswiler <roger at gwch.net>
To: fedora-list at redhat.com
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=
Message-Id: <1080071348.2909.14.camel at lneo>

Additionally, the umlauted characters in the message are coded as 
UTF-8 Unicode, not ISO-8859-1.
