No, this isn't what I've said. I've said *my* client does not automatically display messages properly when the encoding information has been stripped from the headers. I can set my client to default to UTF-8 encoding in such cases. But since not all messages with the encoding information stripped from the headers are encoded as UTF-8, this merely changes which messages will be displayed incorrectly. That is, changing the default setting of my client really solves nothing. Particularly since MathGroup is not the only list I subscribe to. >How come then Mail can do so?

My perspective differs. In essence, you've concluded because your client (Apple Mail) renders your postings (as well as some others) to MathGroup correctly that MathGroup is set up properly. And those clients that do not do the same are either set up improperly or inferior to Apple Mail. The fact a given mail client works as intended with MathGroup isn't sufficient to show MathGroup is set up properly or that other clients that are having problems are set up improperly or somehow inferior to your mail client. -- To reply via email subtract one hundred and four
