Hi all,
I am new to this list and trying to use Mailman
to administer a Japanese language ML.
I have recently installed Mailman. Mailman
no trouble with handling Japanese e-mail messages but
archive files (html) do not display Japanese
characters properly. The problem seems to do
with the html conversion by Mailman.
When Mailman encouters '>' it gets replaced with '>'. In the
case of Japanese (multibyte) messages, this '>' is generally
one byte of double-byte character (Japanese) and as a result
the characters get messed up in html files. Archive files in the
text format does not have this problem.
I am not sure how this problem can be sorted out.
Is there a way wherein the replacement of '>' by '>'
can be avoided. Or is there a way to generate text files
instead of html files.
Thanks in advance.

No, text inside mail body are untranslated. Character codes I sent in my
previous messages were intented for HTML code.

Uhm, In Defaults.py there is an explanation about this.
"
# Pipermail assumes that messages bodies contain US-ASCII text.
# Change this option to define a different character set to be used as
# the default character set for the archive. The term "character set"
# is used in MIME to refer to a method of converting a sequence of
# octets into a sequence of characters. If you change the default
# charset, you might need to add it to VERBATIM_ENCODING below.
DEFAULT_CHARSET = None
"
DEFAULT_CHARSET is intended only to pipermail messages.
You should take a glance to DEFAULT_SERVER_LANGUAGE option at the end of
Defaults.py
There is also an explanation about what to do for supporting new
languages.
In one file I send to this list named i18n.README.en, is also described
how to deal with catalogues and new languages. All of this can be looked
at the archives.
One more thing, I have understood you have modified general *.txt
located in $prefix/templates but in order to take effect you must copy
them into particular list templates.
Cheers

Hi!
I have recently installed mailman and I am now trying to figure out
how to make it accept swedish characters (åäö) in the templates (such
as verify.txt/subscribeack.txt). Can anyone help me out?
I tried to find an answer to that question in the
mailman-i18n-archive but I cant find anything about it there and I
can´t find any documentation about this anywhere.
Thanks in advance!!!
