Yeah! What he said!
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?
I agree that this is less than ideal. On a somewhat related note, the
new URL Protocol Messaging suffers a similar fate.

My tests, and those of others who had hoped to start implementing
this, indicate that if a script contains a continuation character,
unexpected results may occur. :/
It seems that AppleScript and the Internet are incompatible. :-(
