This list is unable to display ASCII characters 128-255 correctly. IIRC,
it's a problem/bug/limitation of the Mailman software which runs the list.
I think it's been like this since dinosaurs walked the earth. Bah.
In a hundred thousand years' time, mankind will be extinct and this list

back to option-L characters" in Cockroach-ese? :p
