Could the Lua mailing program become UTF8-aware

[Foster Schucker <Foster@...>]

So I see big blocks of UTF8 message code in the digest on a regular 
basis.  My savior is people that quote it and then I can see text again.

Can we run a POC on making Lua UTF8 aware by making the mailing program 
(that's written in Lua???) be UTF8 aware and translate blocks of text 
back to ascii.

To me, that would be a big benefit to all of lua-kind.

Thanks!
