To answer my own question:

A quick review of the digest.mbox file of one of my lists showed a 
French subscriber having signed his name François. I changed the ç to c 
and the digest went out just fine. His header showed content: 
text/plain, charset us ascii. Is there any way to avoid that problem in 
the future?
