Hi,
I've just noticed that Mailman sends wrongly encoded German mails for
admin approval of subscriptions that looks like this
---
Ihre Genehmigung ist für den folgenden Abonnementswunsch
erforderlich:
Für: xxx(a)lrz.de
Liste: yyy(a)lists.lrz.de
Bitte besuchen Sie bei Gelegenheit
https://lists.lrz.de/mailman/admindb/yyyy
um diese Anfrage zu beantworten.

The charset of the mail is UTF-8, and templates/de/subauth.txt is also
UTF-8, but the text looks like the UTF-8 template has been parsed as
ISO8859-1 and recoded into UTF-8 again.
Recoding templates/de/subauth.txt to ISO8859-1 fixes the issue.
We have a lot of different encodings even within the same language and
filetype
mailman/templates/de (1) % file *
adminaddrchgack.txt: UTF-8 Unicode text
admindbdetails.html: HTML document, ASCII text
admindbpreamble.html: HTML document, ASCII text
admindbsummary.html: HTML document, ASCII text

subscribe.html: HTML document, ASCII text
unsubauth.txt: ASCII text
unsub.txt: ISO-8859 text
userpass.txt: ISO-8859 text
verify.txt: ISO-8859 text
I don't quite get the code, but it looks like at least *.txt should be
ISO8859-1 at the moment.
Best Regards,
Bernhard
