I'm a bit confused.  How exactly do you propose converting non-Latin
encoded text to Latin?  Since it cannot ever be converted, are you
going to emit Unicode HTML character references?

Also, what do you do to map charsets to Python Unicode codecs?
They're not one-to-one; for example, ISO-2022-JP goes to
japanese.iso-2022-jp.

Anyway, the patch sounds very nice, and I'm sure Barry is just waiting
for you to report that it works fine with Mailman 2.1 beta.  It's a
lot like one I sent him a while ago, but sounds much further along.

Ben
