MIME format digests should contain the individual messages in their
original character sets and should not be a problem.

Plain format digests are converted to the character set of the list's
preferred language (us-ascii for English language). Thus, unicodes in the
original message which are not representable in the character set of the
list's preferred language will be replaced by the 'unknown' character.

If this is the issue in your case, your users can get MIME digests, or if
your list's preferred language is English, you can change its character
set to utf-8.
