Nope--no problem. This means the UTF-8 also survived the
Unicode (UNIX-based) mailer without an explicit character
set identification, was delivered o.k. into Rick's
Rhapsody-based system, survived another cut and paste as
an uninterpreted stream of bytes into an editor, was saved
into another file, and then got interpreted as UTF-8 *with
the correct content still*.
Seems to me this UTF-8 is pretty robust for getting handed
around on the Internet.
Which was the point.
