<http://freebsd.markmail.org/thread/fjvdtswmpyxp2pk7> appears OK: 

> FreeBSD comme système d’exploitation hôte; et Microsoft Virtual PC

<https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-translators/2022-September/000074.html>: 

> FreeBSD_comme_système_d’exploitation_hô te;_et_Microsoft_Virtual_PC

Also remarkable, the space after:

Well ... at least it didn't mangle the accents! :)

I'll take a look at this.

Thank you :-)

Initially, this one surprised me: 

<https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-fs/2022-September/001322.html>

> 266236_–_ZFS_NFS_:_.zfs/snapshot_:_Stale_fi le_handle

I guess, the trigger was the em dash: 

> 266236 – ZFS NFS : .zfs/snapshot : Stale file handle

----

Again, there's an additional white space. 

Nothing unusual about the word 'file' in the original, which was copied from the title of <https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=266236>. 

I wondered whether the space falls at the same point in the line, it does not. A comparison: 

> FreeBSD_comme_système_d’exploitation_hô te;_et_Microsoft_Virtual_PC
> 266236_–_ZFS_NFS_:_.zfs/snapshot_:_Stale_fi le_handle

<https://lists.freebsd.org/archives/freebsd-office/2022-October/001184.html> the replies have additional white space, but no underscore. 

In this case, the origin is probably the en dash:

    –

– in my edition to the summary line of bug 267057.
