Er, are you sure? I thought that virtually every 128-255 character came
through unscathed between Latin-1 and UTF-8. I bow to Jown as final
arbiter, obviously, but that has always been my understanding.
It feels like it's time for Yet Another Unicode Test, but I can't think of
one that does not rely on listing every single one of the 127 8th-bit
characters by name.
What happens if I set my mail client to default encoding of "Latin-1" and
paste some non-Latin-1 characters into the email? Is there an RFC that
defines a suitable way of coping?
