Could the next version of ezmlm-browse be modified to handle non-UTF-8=20
messages, and to correctly convert things (e.g. via iconv)? Currently,=20
the charset handling is pretty awful. Take, for example, this:=20
http://www.memoryhole.net/cgi-bin/ezmlm-browse?list=3Dstate_of&cmd=3Dshowms=
g&msgnum=3D41

The original message was in the windows-1252 charset (relatively=20
common). The entire page is tagged as UTF-8, but the message contents=20
are transmitted unchanged from the original, which means they're=20
mis-tagged. Any browser that looks at that will choke, because all the=20
non-ascii characters must be considered (at best) malformed utf-8=20
characters. Since the message is already tagged as utf-8, all that=20
needs to happen is ezmlm-browse should actually convert the messages=20
=66rom their labeled character sets into valid utf-8.
