[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I had forgotten about this problem, but it is still present in the version 8.25 present on the linux mint 18.3 distribution I'm using right now.This has absolutely nothing to do with a translation problem. It is related with the I18N multibytes string processing.
As you can see, the line with the word «répertoire» is one character shorter because the «é» occupies 2 bytes in UTF-8.
