I checked the full header of this message as I received it from
YahooGroups, and found:

"Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit"

Seems to me that if an e-mail program correctly labels its outgoing
messages, there's a good chance YahooGroups will handle it OK.

I know that both of those items in a full header are really important once
one ventures outside of ASCII. (ASCII does not refer to any codepoints
above 127 (or 128?), btw. Latin-[n] are supersets of ASCII -- they include
it.)

Debugging can be a pain...
