This is a test of the features of the phys-l mailer, which was recently
upgraded from listserv(tm) to mailman(tm). This message uses the utf-8
encoding, as discussed at e.g. http://www.av8n.com/computer/htm/encoding.htm#sec-unicode
All of the following look nice in *my* mailer (Mozilla) and will probably
look fine if you view the archives with a decent browser (if earlier
tests are any guide).
The question is: Are there any mailers or systems out there in common
use that cannot handle utf-8, and/or can't load a font that has usable
glyphs at these codepoints? Please report what works and what doesn't.
If you setup cannot handle utf-8, please invesigate whether you can
upgrade to something that does. (Hint: Thunderbird is free and reasonably
easy to use.) The goal is to build a consensus as to which symbols can
(or cannot) be seen by phys-l subscribers.
James Clerk Maxwell :
∇ ⋅ E = 4π ρ
∇ × E + 1/c ∂B/∂t = 0
∇ ⋅ B = 0
∇ × B - 1/c ∂E/∂t = 4π c j

i ℏ ∂Ψ/∂t = H Ψ
