But when message is in this encoding: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1251 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit it's body is ugly. Please advice me ... Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Mark Sapiro (msapiro) Date: 2007-02-13 18:53 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=1123998 Originator: NO The screenshot is unnecessary. I understood exactly what the issue was from your original description. I know you only see the problem in the "message excerpt" in the admindb message detail. I tried to explain that the reason for this is that this excerpt is not decoded. It would be possible to patch Mailman/Cgi/admindb.py with the attached patch to decode this "message excerpt" before displaying it, but then you would have the issue that the characters in the box in your screenshot would be Windows CP1251 characters which would probably still be garbled when displayed in the character set of the rest of the page. Also, my suggestion to set admin_immed_notify to 1 was not intended to 'correct' this display. It causes this message to be also sent to you in an email so that if it is necessary for you to see the message text in order to decide what action to take with the message, you can see the text in the email notice.

It already setted to 1; Pleasee see attacged screenshot. I can't use MUA (mail agent), because I meet problem with encoding only at admin area. Thanks for help.

It is an encoding. That is, it is a way of representing data which contains non-printable, us-ascii characters using only the us-ascii character set as required by RFC2822 for email messages. The issue here is that encoded message bodies are not decoded for display in the admindb message detail. This may change in the future, but then there _will_ be character set and content-type issues. These are more complicated as in general, different message parts may have different character sets and may not even be text. Currently, if you really need to see the decoded text, you need to set admin_immed_notify to Yes so you get an email notice of the held message and use an MUA (mail client) that shows you the decoded message in the notice. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1658920&group_id=103
