Does this look right? (I hope LISTSERV allows Unicode):

The "invalid ... characters" message is spurious. It was fixed by PTF for CP
1047.
It appears it must be fixed individually for CP 870 and all additional code
pages.
This was a UTF-8 UNIX file, tagged UTF-8 and containing the Unicode values of
the Polish alphabet. The behavior is less likely to occur with a Classic data
set.
What's x'CA'?
