On this new-fangled Fedora 6 system at work I'm getting what I assume are meant to be quotes displaying as a strange sequence, e.g.:-

I suspect previously you were in a UTF-8 locale and now you're in ISO-8859-1 or similar. Check what you have LANG set to in your environment? I have LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 and in your original mail I can see the quotes around main fine (ignoring the fact your headers claim iso_8859_1).
