Re: [math-fun] An end to leap seconds (was Re: SETI breakthrough: ...)

I'm assuming the question mark was meant to be pi. Non-ASCII characters are turned into question marks on this list, at least in its digest form. This is presumably because there are multiple incompatible character sets which senders might be using, and the digest header can specify at most one of them.

I'm not sure its intentional. Emacs turns non-ascii characters to question marks when you write out files, unless you set the variable coding-system-for-write correctly. Whit
