The hosting of historical posts varies:

1. https://listarchives.boost.org/ are the "static plain html pages",
copied via rsync from the old server to a new machine directly. They seem
to exhibit the same problem about utf-8 characters as before. No better or
worse.
2. The new production mailman3 instance (which will be the main server)
fixes utf-8, so the weird characters are gone from previous posts. Notice
how Dmitry's name is readable.
