Uh-oh ... <sheepish grin> ... you're right that the issue is what I'm viewing it with. Just to clarify: there are two .txt files ... (A) an archive .txt.gz file before I made the change to the mm_cfg.py file; and (B) an archive .txt.gz file after I made the change. I followed the txt.gz link on the Pipermail page and got the options to "Download" or "Open file". FAIL -- On choosing the "Open file" with ArchiveManager/JEdit, File-A showed the c-cedilla replaced by the question-mark; and File-B showed it replaced by the ç characters. SUCCESS -- However, choosing "Download", then gunzip and then open with JEdit I get a better result: File A showed the c-cedilla replaced by the question-mark as expected; but File-B shows the c-cedilla (happy days!). So in short, Mark Sapiro's recommended fix -- https://wiki.list.org/x/15958250 -- has cracked this little chestnut.
