Yes, that's exactly what I'm talking about.  I'm wondering if it happens when
the messages are converted to plain text.  Or maybe with the handling of extended
ASCII characters.

On this list, I see it with about 5% of the posts.  I'm running the same version of
Mailman as this list, and it doesn't happen on my list.

It seems like bad advertising for Mailman, and I'd be interested in helping to track
down the problem.
