This post is a test. It is only a test.
I just changed my Thunderbird character encoding to UTF-8, in the hope
that the Web interface won't overcorrect ISO-8859-1 text and print
things like "Bézier" when it sees "Bézier," and formulas like
P(t) = (1-t)³*P1 + 3*(1-t)²*t*P2 + 3*(1-t)*t²*P3 + t³*P4
will show correctly, instead of my having to fire up Thunderbird just to
read a message. Although I prefer a newsreader for posting, the Web
interface is most convenient for reading though the messages. And maybe
we'll see less "Â Â Â" in replies where there should be just whitespace.

Nope, didn't work. The Web interface is just broken.

Only one level, it seems. Unless it is Thunderbird that is broken, not the Web
interface.

It is not broken, it is just old.

Which, from the PoV of a user in 2020, makes it broken.

I use the web interface if I need to link to a post or thread. I guess
it is also useful if you are using someone else's computer or a library
computer.
