What the....

Aw, COME ON, APPLE! Knock it off.

Look, I don't know a whole lot about this sort of thing, but
jeeze, here in the 21st century, just how hard is it to have
a list-server that doesn't mangle high-bit characters? I mean,
look, you created a scripting language that USES high-bit
characters, doesn't it seem like the primary mailing list for
discussing the language should PASS THOSE CHARACTERS ALONG,
unmolested?

Really, is it hard? I send email to my Macintosh friends with
high-bit characters all the time, and never with any problems.
Could we use some sort of hybrid mailto:/ftp: protocal? Can we
use a code, like Â, or \xC2, or something that the server would
translate back to their high-bit form? Is there anyway I can post
LEGITIMATE APPLESCRIPT CODE without it coming out looking like
someone's newest creation in perl gobbledygook?
