I did restart Mailman, but I neglected to make sure all qrunners were stopped.

I just want to be alble to send graphics inline, so it looks like this will work. I will try and change in low peak usage.

Thanks.

It looks like each file that calls a txt file would have to be changed, or is there somewhere that I can globally change the

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

to iso-8859-1? I know I would then have to change all text files that are emailed (after figuring out which ones are emailed and which ones are simply includes.)

Why would you need to change any templates? the 'en' ones are all us-ascii which is a proper subset of iso-8859-1.

I tried changing the selection in Defaults.py for English to iso-8859-1, but that did not do it.

It seems you've changed the question from "how do I put HTML into .txt templates" to "how do I change the character set of Mailman generated list mail".

From this, I gather that the real issue you are trying to address is inclusion of non-ascii characters in templates.

If that is the case, changing the character set for 'en' from us-ascii to iso-8859-1 or utf-8 should work provided the non-ascii characters in the templates are encoded in the same (iso-8859-1 or utf-8) encoding.

It is best not to change this in Defaults.py, but rather override it in mm_cfg.py (see the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/fIA9>) with a line

add_language('en', 'English (USA)', 'iso-8859-1', 'ltr')

(and the omission of the i18n _() around 'English (USA)' is intentional).

As to why this didn't seem to work when you changed Defaults.py, did you restart Mailman after the change?
