Considering this list is run through MD I think you need to look elsewhere
for the cause of your problems. Those characters didn't do anything to this
list.
Do you have administrivia enabled or not? If you do turn it off and MD
won't scan the body of your messages anymore.

Subject: Filter for special characters?
I would like to post a question as well as offer a solution to a
particular problem we experience with majordomo every few weeks.
I have a user who moderates a closed list and frequently makes posts
that contain "special" characters, for lack of a better term, imbedded in
her text.
Here are two examples:
"Paxton's 40-year career. A two-time Grammy® nominee, he has received the"
"Tafelmusik of Toronto and Concerto Köln in addition to other early and"
Please note the "®" and "ö" in these two lines. These are seen as
control characters by the Majordomo program and cause the program to behave
in unpredictable ways. Posts that contain characters like this will not
distribute nor bounce.
QUESTION: is there a filter of some sort for MJ that will remove and
or escape these sorts of characters so as to not offend/confuse?
WORKAROUND: I've discovered if you cut and paste text like this into
MS Word (not WordPad) and do a "Save As", selecting "MS-DOS Text (*.txt) as
the "Save as type:" that these sorts of special characters will be removed
in that saved file.
If you then pull that file up into Word or someother text editor and
cut and past into an email client things move ahead as expected.
