The list enforces strict ASCII (American Standard for Coded Information
Interchange) character set, which includes only 95 characters (counting
space).  There are 33 control characters (for a total of 128), but AFAIK the
list server will only allow a very few of those through (tab, newline, etc.)

Anything that takes more than 7 bits is not going to make it through.  All
of those degree symbols, accents, fractions, etc. are not allowed; and will
usually get translated to something else.
