There is no Persian l10n for Mailman. Thus, whatever language is chosen for the list is not Persian and does not have a character set in Mailman such as UTF8 which supports Persian characters. I am marking this as wishlist as the real solution would be a Persian l10n. ** Changed in: mailman Importance: Undecided => Wishlist ** Changed in: mailman Status: New => Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mailman Coders, which is subscribed to GNU Mailman. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/702278 Title: Persian characters coded into "?" s in digest and archive

Actual list messages are sent with character set and encoding essentially as received. Archives and plain (but not MIME) format digests go through a "scrubbing" process to remove and store aside any non plain text attachments and to flatten the message(s) into a single plain text message. Part of this process converts the message into the character set of the list's language. If your list's language is English, this is us-ascii. If your lists are on your own server, it is possible to change the character set for English to UTF-8. You can do this by putting the line add_language('en', 'English (USA)', 'utf-8') in mm_cfg.py and restarting Mailman. If you would like to work on a Persian translation of Mailman, we would welcome your efforts.
