Or maybe they're returned ex-pats with fond memories (and perhaps family) of their former host countries. There is also the problem of Windose-1252, with various punctuation marks not available in ISO 8859-1, not to mention the even further extended set available in Unicode. Let's not annoy the punctuation pedants! But Philip already addressed these issues by saying make it configurable. I think that's reasonable as long as the list owner is made aware that she's probably going to trash posts from some of her members, and sooner, rather than later. If she wants to blame the victims for not following the rules and the spammers for the rules, that's her problem, no? In any case, people with horked MUAs are surely used to being maltreated by software; they're almost certainly using MS or Apple products, no?<wink> _______________________________________________ Mailman-Developers mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-developers Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-developers%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-developers/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9
