Are you sure about that? Now maybe the mailing list gateway is messing things up, but I rather suspect your newsreader (or USENET server) is sending out nonsense. After all, Unicode usually works around here. Some excerpts from the message, as I received it: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit [...] >>> print s2 %%% /&%%% No quoted-printable. No UTF-7.
