It may not be obvious, but people sending mail from MS Outlook to freelists need to go into Tools $B"*(B Options $B"*(B General $B"*(B Web Options $B"*(B Encoding $B"*(B Save This Document as US-ASCII .

I would suggest this should be an automatic conversion in the list processing (heck, even crotchety old imp/exp can deal with different charsets), or at least added to the help instructions for new users.
