Problem with Danish characters?
by Kaja P. Christiansen April 24, 2009

April 24, 2009

Hi all, I have (so far) been unable to show correctly Danish characters in the names of the list members. Let me give 2 examples. 1. Say I create a list 'test' and subscribe a member like here: newlist -l da test kaja(a)cs.au.dk kaja echo "Kaja Jørgensen <kaja(a)cs.au.dk>" | add_members -r - -a n -w n test to which Mailman responds with: Tilmeldt: Kaja Jørgensen <kaja(a)cs.au.dk> So far so good. Now I ask for the membership list with list_members -f test and receive back: Kaja J?rgensen <kaja(a)cs.au.dk> 2. I edit the membership list from the web page: - go to Membership List - replace member name Kai Nielsen with Kai Jørgensen Nielsen (looks good) - submit changes - go to another web membership page, then back to one with 'Kai...' and see: Kai Jørgensen Birger Nielsen Relevant settings in .../mailman/Mailman/mm_cfg.py are: # Charset and Encoding DEFAULT_CHARSET = 'iso-8859-1' VERBATIM_ENCODING = ['iso-8859-1'] We've been using Mailman for yers. Currently running v. is 2.1.11 on Linux (RHEL 5.3). Could you help? Perhaps point me to a previous thread on this list which provides a solution? Regards Kaja

Unless the "Dom?ne" that you see is on a Mailman generated page, this is not the appropriate place to get help for this issue. This list, mailman-i18n(a)python.org, is for i18n issues involving the GNU Mailman email list management software only. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.

Hi, Sorry, I have seen this "?" on networkmanager-vpnc plugin. When I start to make the vpnc connection through nm-applet. It ran the networkmanager-vpnc plugin. Left click the nm-applet's icon --> go to the vpn connection --> go to configure vpn --> press add button --> then press the create button --> see on Optional there is a Domain. That "domain" is in German "Domäne" but it print "Dom?ne". That is the problem. I think now u have understand the problem. Please give some pointer on this.

You are not telling us where you are seeing these '?' characters. "Show On Target(Blacktop)" means nothing to me. Are you seeing them in the Mailman web interface?, on what pages? In the mailman archives? In email from Mailman? Which emails? where in the email? You should not be seeing this on a German language list, but in order to help, we need to know where you are seeing it. -- Mark Sapiro <mark(a)msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
