It's the war of the loons. UTF8/Emoji/NonReadableText loons.

The standards allow UTF8 all over the place.

Yet, even USENET client programs that are UTF8 capable
in the Body part of the message, cannot seem to handle
<MID> or References: containing such things. There is
much puking when that happens.

With a half-ass client like in the following example,
you can at least see the colored waffle which is
gumming up your reply. I can at least see where the
hand grenade is placed, even if I can't Reply to one.

Find and use a client which the other (replying)
people in the thread use.
