Ol=E1 Godoy, I mean... Olá Godoy :-)

I've noticed the same thing on my lists here. The thing is, someone somewhere should be converting quoted-printable to 8-bit. Pipermail (mailman's builtin archiver) is not very elaborate so I think that expecting it to convert quoted-printable to html quoting (á and friends) is a little bit too much to ask. Maybe some sendmail (or your mailer) option to convert from quoted-printable to 8-bit should do the trick. I'm still hunting that option down, though...

Hi!

I have a mailing list where people write in brazilian portuguese (pt_BR) and consequently with iso-8859-1 chars. While the messages appears ok, when I look into the archive I see the text in a wrong way:

Ol=E1, =20 =20 Como se faz a substitui=E7=E3o de palavras no Emacs em modo PO.

"Ol=E1" should be "Olá".

Any hints on what may be causing that?

Thanks!
