Thanks Peter for replying.
This is an example of the output of repr(x) as you requested:

'carr\xe0 at pluto.it'

Results:
link opened from IE6->Outlook: it works
link opened from IE6->Pocomail: it works
link opened from Firefox->Outlook: characters with accent fail
link opened from Firefox->Pocomail: characters with accent fail

It looks like having to do more with Firefox than with Python itself but 
maybe someone can help anyway?
