[Mailman-i18n] how to encode in iso-8859-9 charset

[Martin von Loewis]

shawn,

I still don't understand your problem. It seems we have difficulties
to communicate, so please don't get annoyed by my lengthy questions.

Where does this text come from? Is that some you have entered yourself (if so,
where?), is this a header or footer? Who has created the multipart/alternative
attachment? Can you perhaps send us the original message, ideally in a uuencoded
form?

Which of the following two is the case:
A: The header and footer do not appear in the message sent to each subscriber.
B: The header and footer do not appear in the pipermail archives.

If you have observed B, then this is correct behaviour: the header and footer
is omitted from the pipermail archive on purpose.

Again, I don't understand: First you say that you do not see the header. 
Then you say that the header is transmitted as multipart/alternative.
Which of these is the case?

I can't quote them right now (as elm does not support -9), but please 
have a look at

http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-i18n/2002-November/000708.html

This message was correctly archived, as far as I can tell. Do you agree?

Ok, it seems that your problem is somehow with the header and footer.
Can you please post the text that you want to use as the header and footer?
Don't hesitate to have this encoded as plain text in iso-8859-9: some
of our mail readers will support this well, as will the archive.

Unfortunately, I cannot see this from above. Are you saying you have copied
this text from a archive web page?

Can you please send a message that you consider "8859-9" to this list?

It seems to me that this message (i.e. the one I'm responding to) was a MIME
message, and it was encoded as iso-8859-9. So you must be talking about 
something else.

AFAICT, this works fine: no additional configuration needed.

I don't think you should change anything. First, we need to understand what
you do before we can tell you what to change.
