Aaargggh! Quite when, is lost in the mists of time now, but I have set:
$ locale
LANG=en_AU.utf8
LC_CTYPE="en_AU.utf8"
etc.
And Vim is supposed to default to utf-8 these days. So now lets' try to
find out why we're triggering the google groups deficiency:
OK, what is Vim set to while composing this post?:
: set fenc ?
fileencoding=utf-8
So the post should be leaving Vim as utf-8.
OK, is mutt changing that to ISO-8859-1 behind the scenes?:
:r !grep char ~/.muttrc # shows us:
# For M$_char_crap, use: (Kyle)
charset-hook ^unknown-8bit$ WINDOWS-1252
charset-hook ^x-user-defined$ WINDOWS-1252
charset-hook ^iso-8859-1$ WINDOWS-1252
charset-hook ^us-ascii$ WINDOWS-1252
charset-hook US-ASCII ISO-8859-1
charset-hook x-unknown ISO-8859-1
Well if it is, then I'm not seeing it. (It's sneaking up on midnight
here, so I'll look later at how this post comes back from the
listserver. Maybe there's a clue there.)
Many thanks for the heads-up. We should do what we can to compensate for
broken mail services, if it helps anyone stuck with using them.

Yup, that's what I sent. When we have this fixed, I'll have learnt
another detail.
Thanks again.
