I have now switched to xmlcharrefreplace instead of backslashreplace as I agree this will be easier to explain and understand. I was uncertain about this at first because I didn't know that xmlcharrefreplace wouldn't use entity names in some cases, but it appears that it only uses numeric references. > At an earlier stage, you could also just do a trial re-encoding with > the list preferred codec, set errors = 'strict', catch the Exception, > and re-raise as a Hold (or Discard, according to per-list policy). > (Then discard the output.)

I think this will have too many undesired effects. Not just emoji, but accented latin or CJK characters, etc. in display names would I think be real problems, even on English language lists. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
