Just a quick note: some major bugs in ent.decode currently introduce bugs in pipermail, too.

This issue can be used to track the status of those bugs.

Alternatively, I’ve just created https://github.com/mathiasbynens/he which is a fully tested HTML entity encoder/decoder that avoids these issues.

(I mainly did this because lots of es-discuss threads include astral Unicode symbols (discussing ES6’s improved Unicode support), and I would hate to see those break on esdiscuss.org.)
