Seniors,
I just found multi-characters in subject, for example, a big5 Chinese encording that came from Mutt mail client
Re: =?iso-8859-1?Q?=C3=F6=A9=F3=BC=D0=C3D=AA=BA=A4=A4=A4=E5=BDs=BDX?=The Mailman (2.0.7) sometimes translated above to correct big5 codes in the html Archive page, but sometimes left it as raw. How do I correct this problem?
Thanks!

This means the subject line is encoded with ISO-8859-1, aka Latin-1. This encoding works great for English, French, German, Spanish, and the other major Western European languages. If you can use to encode Chinese, I'll eat my shorts. ;->
Looks like a misconfigured email client to me. Not much Mailman can do about that.

I know that problem of iso-8859-1 encoding, but I can't understand that why sometimes the subject can be translated correctly, sometimes can't be for the same subject. I even changed the "iso-8859-1" with "big5" and found it was no matter with the result. I checked other mailman lists used in big5 community, for example XCIN (http://www.linux.org.tw/mailman/listinfo/xcin), and found they also had same problem. Maybe, this is a problem from Python or Regular Express... the last new message in same thread sometimes made whole thread was translated correctly but later, strangely, failed again...
