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. Venkatesh Raghavan Osaka City University Japan

Yes. You must first convert the message into EUC-JP in which all the double-byte characters are msb set. Please visit Japanized Mailman Page at http://mm.tkikuchi.net/ You must also check the mail archive to check patches. http://mm.tkikuchi.net/pipermail/mmjp-users/ -- Tokio Kikuchi

Yes, please. It would be useful to have a japanese discussion forum even if our Japanization is finally integrated into i18n-Mailman. Many thanks to this great software development team! Tokio Kikuchi

I've added an i18n link to the main Mailman pages (only available through CVS at the moment). I've only got an entry for Japanese resources at the moment, but I envision adding additional pointers for other languages, so... If anybody has specific links you'd like me to add for your language, please send them to me. TK> Many thanks to this great software development team! You're very welcome! -Barry
