I don't know for sure, as I'm really not up on this, but wouldn't each
of the recipients have to make changes to the display in his mail system?
LISTSERV may send it with everything preserved in the proper character
set, but if the mail system of the subscriber isn't set to accept/read
that set he'll see garbage or nothing, won't he?
