It happens on the mac as well, from time to time. My guess: it happens 
when it automatically saves a draft, if there are chars that need utf8 
it pops out a box warning you of that, which happens to be the same for 
when you're sending stuff. good to check, bad way to ask -> would count 
as a bug.
