If you use an MUA that understands MIME typt multipart/digest, these
will be seen as messages, not attachments.

It sounds like your list language is English, the character set for
which in Mailman is us-ascii, so the digest is sent in us-ascii which
doesn't support those characters, thus the '?'.

Try setting the list language to French. Or, if you really need it to
be English, you can put the following in mm_cfg.py

def _(s):
    return s

add_language('en',    _('English (USA)'),       'iso-8859-1')

del _
