That's not quite right.  The listserv messes up certain bytes outside of
the US-ASCII range, which bytes do occur in the UTF-8 encoding of
various characters.  UTF-7 uses only bytes in the US-ASCII range, so if
you can convince your mail program to use it, then your message will
pass through unscathed - although it will only be legible to those whose
mail program understands UTF-7 (fortunately, more understand it than
provide for generating it).
