The EP mailing list is configured so that it has: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"
while the footer has: EuroPython 2014 \x96 Berlin, 21th\x9627th July Notice the two \x96 characters. The intent is almost certainly to have those interpreted in the windows-1252 charset, where they mean an en-dash. But in us-ascii, this is an illegal character. And my mailer complains bitterly about the problem. So it looks like we need to fix 2 things. The first is to change the charset from "us-ascii" to something more reasonable, especially since most European languages do not fit into ascii -- utf-8 perhaps? And the second thing is to change the footer text to have whatever is an en-dash in whatever charset we decide to use. Are there any reasons not to move to utf-8 ?
