Todd,
Whoa! I put an upper-ascii character into the subject line of my message.
In my newsreader, it comes across fine, but in the Web interface, it comes

Is this a bug, or shouldn't I have put the offending bytes in the subject
line? More to the point, will I kill your Web interface scripts?
Cheers,
- jsproat
