I’m happy to leave well enough alone. I was only throwing it out there. If, as Phil says, a setting can be changed to make modern 8-bit plain text display properly, I’m happy to crawl back into my hole.

FWIW, I’d never move it to Yahoo or Google, I happen to have access to service with a mailman lists as a feature, as many of them as I want. Doesn’t make any real difference to me either way.
