Group: Mailman 2.1 Status: Closed Resolution: Accepted Priority: 5 Submitted By: Martin v. Löwis (loewis) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: Improve MIME header handling

Initial Comment: This patch fixes a number of problems for non-English archives. In particular:

• it normalizes the encoding name (converting to lower-case, splitting of potential \r characters, and splitting off potential quotes)

• if the article and the header encoding differ, it tries to preserve the decoded header as a Unicode string, instead of immediately falling back to the MIME-encoded one (if the encoding is not known to Python it will still fall back)

• if a Unicode string needs to be formatted, it uses character references for all non-ASCII characters.

k-fish, Martin was actually referring to the revision of one of the files in the Mailman 2.1 distribution. MM2.1 is in beta testing now and will officially support internationalization. The MM2.0.x does not.

I'm closing this patch since as Martin says, it's already applied!

Ok, I could have had a look at the patch header more closely, sorry. Thanks for your answer though, I wasn't aware of 2.14 being existent at all, since 2.0.9 seems to be the latest version being officially avilable...

Anyway, my problem with german Umlauts being screwed up was solved by running arch manually, somehow the Umlauts seems to be only messed up when the archiver is run automatically...

And rather than backporting (especially now, since my special problem was solved so easily ;) I would love to see a newer version of mailman being released officially...

Thanks again for you answer!

The patch applies to version 2.13 of HyperArch.py, just as the patch header says.

It was current for the mailman CVS at the time of its creation. It has been applied to the mailman CVS by now (as 2.14), so it is now useless. Feel free to back-port it to mailman 2.0.8 if you want.

I tried to apply this patch to mailman 2.0.8 and 2.0.9, and both times the patch didn't apply cleanly. In fact 6 out of 10 hunks failed here. Any hints on that? For which version was the patch created?

The second version of this patch expects and ignores LookupError from unicode(), and it decodes the subjects from the next and previous articles.
