This has nothing to do with input ... if you see it correctly yourself,
then it's been input correctly.

The question is - why isn't it displaying correctly in Output Express?
That's very strange to me. You might want to file a bug in 
bugzilla.ximian.com, including literal copies of:

 - The mail that evolution sends that Outlook Express can't decipher
 - A mail sent with a different mailer with the same content that
   Outlook Express reads correctly.

For ICQ -- it's likely simply a bug in licq (or whatever you are using);
likely it doesn't properly handle convering from UTF-8 to the correct
windows codepage that the other end is expecting.
