Actually, I also have mailing lists whre users send text in Spanish (using
characters with accute accents), and I have noticed that, while the messages
pass through unaltered, when they are saved to the archive or to the digest
then the special charactes are mapped to "=nn" sequences.
This would leade me to believe that there is something in the Majordomo
source, or perhaps even something in the behavior of PERL, which maps high
ASCII characters to some escape sequence (pressumably to keep the body of
the message all "text").
