 This is a great one. So, a pint at the next POTD for anyone who can solve
it.

 After installing PHPBB3, it started randomly corrupting anything people
copy & pasted into textarea fields. Before:

 And after: (check the stuff that's quoted)

 This happens for users using linux, osx and windows. I'm sure it's a server
config problem on the backend. It's likely related to the fact that when
PHPBB sends me an email, the subject it something like
"=?UTF-8?B?QWN0aXZhdGUgdXNlciBhY2NvdW50?=" !
