[Techtalk] umlauts

[EevaJärvinen]

Mail systems seem to strip away characters they don't
understand... Here's a list of UTF-8 stuff: `ẃ€ỹḧ' (w acute, euro
sign, y tilde and h umlaut).  I wonder if any of those get past the
mail servers (my local sendmail seems to pass them to local accounts)?
If they do non-destructive autoconversion, this mail should be
encodable in at least UTF-8, UTF-16, JIS2022-7 and iso-10646, but NOT
in any of the iso-8859-x encodings.

nature.  They can only attain these graces, without which they may enjoy 
none of the delights of life, by the most tedious discipline.
