Pi is right, your newsreader is wrong. Oscar's post included the header: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-7 Your newsreader ignores the charset header and just assumes it is Latin-1. Since pi (π) in ISO-8859-7 is byte \xF0, your newsreader wrongly treats it as ð (LATIN SMALL LETTER ETH). -- Steven -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
