as far as I know, it wasn't.

went and checked. here's the subject for that message as it is in the 
mbox format file I use to archive all incoming mail (makes debugging 
MUCH easier)

Subject: Re: 10/19 game moved to 1pm...

his stuff is NOT encoded coming in the subject line. his MIME is:

Mime-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed

not 8859. So Mailman is making that change to the subject line. I 
believe it started when I turned on personalization last night after I 
did the latest CVS update with Barry's fixes. Don't know if it did it 
before, but it wasn't encoding this way yesterday.

IMHO: Jargon. Acronym for In My Humble Opinion. Used to flag as an 
opinion
something that is clearly from context an opinion to everyone except the
mentally dense. Opinions flagged by IMHO are actually rarely humble.
