This list archive has done strange things with character encodings which make the discussion difficult to follow. Something along the way has converted all the non-ascii characters into 'Ã', e.g. Pádraig into PÃdraig.

gmane's interface displays them properly:

There's also the marc.info mirror, but it seems to mis-handle multi-byte output:
