If you have Windows, you can get the acute accent with Character Map.
And if you have Linux the spell checker will add it for you.

It's nowt to do with Windows vs Linux. My Windows client has a
spell-checker that adds the acute on cliché.

Just a shame your spell checker apparently uses 8 bit ascii which can resolve
to a number of different characters depending on the code page loaded, rather
than doing it properly and using UTF8.

It's up to *your* client to decide what to do when it sees (in my
headers):

Content-Type: text/plain;charset=iso-8859-1;format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Look on the bright side, at least it's not "charset=windows-1252"
