Sorry for the format, but I thought it was easiest to send it like this. We have encountered a problem that only appears in the digest-mode. Regular mode and the archives work fine. This is a sourceforge list I think it's mailman version 2.0.9-sf.net.
Since this only appears in digest and not in archiving etc, it does seem like a bug. Please note that this is not about the header-subject-line. This is the text in the body of the message. I know that I occasionally have come across this, that is the chars being reported as unknown with their hex-code, but I'm not all that knowledgable about why it happens.

Status: Open Resolution: Out of Date Priority: 5 Submitted By: Veronica Loell (mindtrader) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: digest mode dont recognize latin-1
Initial Comment: We just started a list where we commicate in swedish and hence use åäö from Latin-1. One of the members have choosen digest-mode and we have discovered a problem. All our mails use latin-1, and in the non-digest form and also in the archives all charachters are displayed correctly. In digest form however, the letters äåö are marked as unknown, with their hex-numbers given. I have tested this by having both digest and non-digest delivered to me, using the same mailer etc.

Well, now I'm not positive. Can you send a message to mailman-developers and see what other people think?

Actually mailman does handle it perfectly, it only happens in the digest mode. And it is also not the header that is the problem it's the body of the email. But if this has been corrected I'll report it to sourceforge because they apperantly are using an old version. I do get plenty of email where the header is messed up, but the rest of the message is not.

Mailman 2.1 will correctly handle non-ascii characters in headers. The problem is (probably) that the addition of the prefix breaks rfc2047 encoding of the non-ascii characters in the Subject: header.

I forgot to say. This is the listmanager managed by Sourceforge.
