Problem with Farsi characters
Hi there everybody In my mailman administration control panel, I tried to add some Farsi text to the welcome message, because mailman does not have any Farsi interface. I added something like this: خوش آمدید.
But mailman sends only some peculiar numbers and letters instead of Farsi text. It writes something like this in the beginning of welcome email: 29@592&625&2wfo
Why is that? How can I solve this?

It's hard to see without seeing the actual welcome email message, but my guess is that the welcome message specifies the character set of the body as one which doesn't support the Farsi characters, e.g. an English language list with character set us-ascii, but possibly some other language with a non-utf-8 character set.
If it is English and us-ascii and you have sufficient access to the Mailman installation, you can change the character set to utf-8 as outlined in the post at <http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2011-March/071320.html>.
