Second way was chosen.        NB> Do you still translate all incoming mails to UTF-8 using iconv so they're        NB> readable?              Yes. But no external iconv, pyhton internal decode/encode.               >> May be it is duty of ZC, to drop invalid segment, and not "help" sysop        >> to publish errors, replacing them with any mark.        NB> I would love to see those "?" entries in DAILYUTF as "🖕" instead.
