Obviously MIME is mandatory for participation in policy process I
infer from your "Fix your MUA" comment. But you were using characters
outside ASCII as well, so one needs tools to turn them from UTF8
gibberish into something readable.

One can't use this unicode hyphen and have getopt understand it. You
were pasting a commandline that didn't work. Incorrect enough for you?

Hyphen != Hyphen-Minus although they probably look exactly or nearly
exactly alike.
