Can anyone tell me why Thunderbird is doing this? I don't really

Ooh, I figured this one out, back when I was running Thunderbird.
I suspect it is the content encoding of the messages. If I throw in
something non-ASCII, forcing a UTF-8 encoding, such as *** bullet, or
*** a
dager should trigger this.
Provided that the list server doesn't mangle this, what do you get for a
font from this?
Trimming out the "offending" characters...
Let's see if this one escapes.
(mutt is set up to try encoding with just simple ascii if possible, or
use UTF-8 if I use any extended characters)
Well, deleting just those two characters did not do the trick. I think
I'll do some sort of trimming halves and just emailing directly to
myself, and see if I can narrow it down that way.
If that doesn't work, I may take jim up on his offer.
