The MIME quoted-printable decoding does not work for mail header lines!
It should be!

If I use accented national characters in mails (i.e., MIME quoted printable),
e.g.
in the subject line, or in the full name of sender/addressee, 
then the archive index is almost unreadable, since I see only
garbage instead of meaningful subject and sender lines, like this:

[Hsn-empl] =?iso-8859-1?Q?=DCdv?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?G=E1bor?= Ziegler 

It is also true in the plain text downloadable version, see the archive text
version
of the message above:

Üdvözlet mindenkinek!

Ez a lista kiserleti jelleggel jött létre, a HSNLabos oktatok
tajékoztatására.
A levelforgalom kicsi lesz, csak is a labor mukodesevel kapcsolatos
infokat tervezem ide.

Ez a lista zártkörű, tehát:
* a lista tagjainak listajat csak a tagok lathatjak
* a feliratkozasokat a adminisztrator kell jovahagyja.
* listara levelet kuldeni csak tagok, valamint masok (egyelore) a 
*.ttt.bme.hu,
  *ericsson.se domainekbol tudnak.

Lehetoseg van:
* a levelek atmeneti letiltasara, 
* napi egyszeri osszefoglalot kerni csak (digest), ami persze csak akkor
jon, ha volt forgalom,
* az archivumban bongeszni
* egyedi beállitasokat megvaltoztatni
* leiratkozni, feliratkozni, 
s mindezt egyszerüen a Weben keresztül! 

Remelem elnyeri tetszeseteket!

Udv:
                Gabor

Is there any chance this can be made to work in the indices 
as well, so that authors and subjects there are decoded in 
the same way?

Another suggestion -- If you can get the Unicode code point 
of the non-ASCII characters (difficult in Python 1.5.2, not too 
hard in 1.6, very easy in 2.0+), emit them in HTML as 
numeric character references so you don't have to worry 
about conflicts with the rest of the message.

Message:
Fixed in rev. 1.30 of Mailman/Archiver/HyperArch.py.  If the charset of the header matches the charset of the message body, it will be decoded.

Message:
Yes, Pipermail should be improved in this regard.  Current recommendation is to use an external archiver.
