Category: mail delivery Group: 2.1 alpha Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: PieterB (pieterb) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: UTF8 problem with MS Exchange/MM2.1b4

Initial Comment: <pre> Hi,

I have a problem with UTF8-encoded e-mails from a Microsoft Exchange 2000 server which are sent to a Mailman 2.1b4 mailinglist server. Exchange uses "utf8" characterset, so that the users will get an extra "attachement" with every mailinglist message (charset "utf-8" is used for the body, and charset "us-ascii" is used for the signature of the mailinglist).

An example of the headers and body is included, below.

Is there a way to change the filtering in Mailman, so that these messages are converted to a more common charset, such as: us- ascii or iso-8859-1

For more information see: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/tips/Mail_utf 8.asp (Mailbox Tip: Allow Non-UTF-8 Mail Clients To View Messages Sent from Exchange). I tried to get the Exchange server changed, but didn't get any response of the local administrator. ;(

Regards,

Pieter
