[issue10284] Exception raised when decoding NNTP newsgroup descriptions

[R. David Murray]

R. David Murray <rdmurray at bitdance.com> added the comment:

Éric: UTF-8 (IIUC the RFC says "SHOULD be UTF-8").

Julien: yes, there are differences in the way printing to the console works between 2.x and 3.x, and this has caused some surprises for Windows users, where the default console codec is a bit limited.  So yes I'm going to close this issue.  Reopen it if you find it is not a windows console problem.
