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 Leo, how are you? How's São Paulo? :-) Curitiba is too hot and it doesn't seem to be winter here... ;-)
Anyway, I'm using Postfix and not Sendmail. But I think that although I can change my mailer configuration it's Pipermail's job to do that conversion. There are lots of broken MTAs around.
There's another machine running qmail and ezmlm with MHonArc as it's archiver. As you can see here http://listas.conectiva.com.br/listas/linux-br/arquivo/2000/06/msg00691.html everything works fine and without any special configuration on MHonArc.
I was expecting it from MailMan.
Thanks! (And send Simone a kiss! ;-))

Hi Godoy,
Well, I mentioned the MTA options because I noticed that you can give different options (such as quoted-printable to 8-bit conversion) to different transports in a single MTA, and I've seen sendmail converting from quoted-printable to 8-bit. It may be the case that, for pipe transports, my sendmail (and your postfix) is not doing this autoconversion.
In any case, you can always use another archiver (such as MHonArc) with Mailman, which will give you more than just ISO-8859-1 diacriticals. Some archivers will give you attachment downloads, search and a whole bunch of other things pipermail don't even dream of. I came to think of pipermail as a placeholder for a real archiver.
[]'s LeoPS: São Paulo today is grey, as most days around this time of the year. Neither hot nor cold. It certainly doesn't look like winter here either.
BTW, I'm going to Curitiba this weekend (my girlfriend's parents live there). So I'll probably pay you a visit :-)
