Your email comes from the list as text/plain charset=utf-8.

There is no excuse for any currently-maintained email software to be unable to handle that, though one does need to have enough fonts (either just available or explicitly configured, depending on the software) to cover the characters used.

I get the math-fun digest and read it in Alpine, and I see ? (that's a question mark) instead of Γ° (that was a pi.) Alpine has no trouble displaying Γ° (pi again) when I send one to myself. Here is an extract from the email headers of the digest: From: math-fun-request@mailman.xmission.com ... Content-type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit ... So it looks like I'm not seeing UTF-8 in the digest because it's not getting sent to me. So another possible culprit is the mailman digestizer. I don't know if the digest character set is a settable option, but if it is, switching it to UTF-8 might fix everyone's problem. -- Tom Duff. At this point, I went back to the literature.
