Unicoding! grouply.com -- Avoid it!

Grouply is a service that overlays your Yahoo!Groups (and Google Groups, RSN) service, in order to provide more control and features for your group messages. All messages to your Y!Group, for instance, now flow through the Grouply server before they reach your mailbox.

However, Unicode messages are turned into gibberish, because Grouply converts UTF-8 bytes into character entities, wrapping these entities into an HTML message. This renders all messages unreadable because there is no way to switch the browser's encoding to correct display the messages.

Grouply gets a Unicoding! for this problem.

Consider also that there is a security risk, because your Yahoo! password would need to be divulged to Grouply.

Avoid Grouply, and do not overlay your Yahoo!Groups with it.
