Why a garbage message?

I'd be more concerned about what happened to the message, since it's apparently sent in a language that can't be understood by its audience. There's something about the fullness of charset processing that I don't grok. I think it has to do with design. Are there design notes somewhere? _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers
