Issue #119 - November 4, 2013 - No Unicode in the subject line

<p style="font-size: 16px">
Hi,
</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px">
Last week I had this little experience with various interesting Unicode characters in the Perl Weekly. On the web site it worked out well, but in the e-mail there were a few glitches. Most likely due to Mailman that I still use to handle the newsletter. (And it is a rather old version of Mailman, so I can't really blame it.) The subject line was missing the [Perlweekly] tag that Mailman should have included (and I hope it does this time again) and several people mentioned that they have not seen the heart in the subject line. I think the body of the message went through just fine.

While CPAN has lots of modules solving many problems (multiple times), there are many problems that are not, or not well solved. Steven Haryanto started to put together a list of tools (libraries) available in other languages but not in Perl. In case you are looking for an problem to work on.

<br />
<p style="font-size: 16px">
Toby Inkster continues his quest to unify the way we can use Moose, Moo and Mouse. One of his suggestion is to write for Moo. Code written using Moo works well with Moose as well, and the syntactic sugar alll three provide is quite similar. So if you use that, your code will likely work with all 3.

Patches were submitted but the problem has not been fixed. Now Dominique Dumont explains the background of https and show how he proposed to fix the problem.
