Odd. Does this happen to you on the main TLUG list? Has anyone else
noticed this? It has not happened to me, best I can tell.

Ah. That is Godwin's fault. ;)

He wanted to include both Japanese and French in the welcome message,
and UTF8 seemed the only logical way to accomplish that. Anyway, I
prefer UTF8 in the general case.

Do you have a specific argument for all list postings not being in
UTF8? It just seemed logical to me, since this list could contain
postings in many different languages (at least, that is its stated
goal).

Dunno, but I'll look at the list settings. Are you sure your mail
client is not setting the Reply-to header? I had not noticed it with
previous posts from this list.
