   OR, maybe I am not observing the behaviour correctly?  I haven't really     
   needed to use the highlighting other than the automatic way it highlights     
   messages addressed to me.   
      
   But I can toggle highlight on other messages and the changes seem to     
   "stick" just fine.  Not sure if the toggle is retained between sessions.      
   Will have to try that.

   Yep.  No problem.   
      
   This is my UTF-8 setting:
