Careful Arthur, not only can you not post high-bit characters, you also
can't post complaints about the fact that you can't. Seriously! You'll
get the official email smack on the wrist if you keep it up.

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?
