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.

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/

I'm starting to fill in some documentation for i18n Mailman. Can I include links to both of these resources for Japanese users?
Thanks, -Barry

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!

I agree. 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.

You're very welcome! -Barry
