>Can we also request that email to the list uses a standard charset e.g.
>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
>rather than as with this message Content-Type: text/plain;
>charset=ISO-2022-JP. Such charset directives seem to render far worse (if at
>all) than HTML when the font is supported :(

     I added the line because I routinely send mail in both English and
Japanese, and some Japanese mail software *cough*Outlook*cough* renders
Japanese text as gibberish without it.  If the font bothers you, change
it; as long as text is displayed properly I don't really consider it as
big a problem as HTML (which makes mail pretty much unreadable when it
gets displayed as plain text, like below).

     On my end, I might add, people with ISO-8859 non-ASCII characters
in their names show up bogus on my display.  I guess this is one of the
things you just have to deal with in an international culture.

>Out of interest, since I finally saw it as other than gibberish, what is the
>translation of the "comment" in the sig?

     It's the same thing as the line above it--"New address, please note."
