When I submit a form, the IHTMLDocument encodes the form data á to %C3%A0 in
the URL. It should be %E1. What's wrong?

C3A0 is a UTF-8 encoding of a Unicode codepoint \uE0, which is Latin
Small Letter A With Grave. Are you sure you have a with acute (á) and
not a with grave (à) ? A with acute, codepoint \uE1, would be C3A1 in
UTF-8.

I see accented letters came out all wrong, precisely because I didn't
configure UTF-8 encoding for the message. Let's see if it works now: a -
a grave, a - a acute.
