So now I look at my own post in GG and see Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 So far so good. However when I point firefox at my own post in the archive https://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2013-December/662015.html firefox shows encoding as Windows-1252. Note Ive looked at a dozen random pages and for all FF shows encoding as utf-8 except the python list archive ones which show as Win 1252 Note looking into the html I see <META http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=us-ascii"> How us-ascii becomes Win-1252 is outside the reach of my meagre intelligence! Though I still suspect something is not quite right with the python mailing-list and/or archive in respect of char encodings.
