Hello!

I'm using mailman 2.1.2 that uses AFAIK email 2.5.1 for messageprocessing. However, I have a problem with some emails in mailmanlists :-(.

If the listlanguage is set to German (iso-8859-1) and a message is posted with this characterset to a list, everything works fine. If the posters use another characterset I get multiparted messages..., messages with attachments. For example a poster uses 7bit us-ascii in its mailer, in my lists appears a message with tow parts: The text from the poster in us-ascii and the listsignature in iso-8859-1. Such a meeeage looks like this:

My idea was to convert messages, that are not written with charset iso-8859-1 into this characterset. Most users are using charset windows-1252 in their mailers or their operatingsystem... So a big help would allready be, if windows-1252 is converted into iso-8859-1.

I tryed to set this up with the email-pakage by editing the file Carset.py, but I had no sugces :-(. Is it possible to do such a conversion with email and how do I have to set this up?

Allthough I don't know if my idea is good and mailman will do things right after changing the configuration of email, I'd like to have a try... Have yo heard of this problems and do you konw a better solution?

Thanks and best regards, Schoeppi
