I'm running Mailman 2.1.1 on Mac OS X Server. My lists are primarily English, but a few of them are also in French and even the English ones sometimes have French accented characters. As a result, I would like Mailman to encode all messages as ISO-8859-1.
Here's my problem: A few users (particularly one subscriber using Outlook on Windows XP) receive most of the messages as text attachments rather than a message body.
Accents were not displaying correctly on the main listinfo page in certain browsers (e.g. Safari, Netscape), so I added the following to the mm_cfg.py file: LC_DESCRIPTIONS['en'] = ('English (USA)', 'iso-8859-1')
While this solved the Listinfo page display problem, it caused the attachment problem I am observing now. In playing around with encodings, I tried adding the following to the mm_cfg.py file: DEFAULT_CHARSET = ['iso-8859-1'] VERBATIM_ENCODING = ['iso-2022-jp', 'iso-8859-1']
...But this did not help.
It's not a huge deal, but it is a real pain for the less 'Net savvy subscribers who think that list messages are coming in empty with an attachment (kind of scary for those who are virus-paranoid too.)
Thanks in advance for any advice!
