Please do not use non-ASCII characters (like umlauts) in header field

by reference RFC 5536, requires it.  Forté Agent is not smart enough for 
that, at least not the outdated version of it that you are using.

By coincidence.

In this case the value is cast to an IEEE-754 double, probably resulting in 
different values.
