I'll think about a FAQ. This whole Debian/Ubuntu utf-8 encoding issue
has been a pain from the beginning for those of us (me) who've had to
pick up the pieces after things broke.

See for example the comment thread at
<https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1462755> and the archived
thread linked from comment #6.

Also, if you're interested, see the first paragraph at
<https://wiki.list.org/> about obtaining write access to the wiki if
you'd like to write something.
