[Mailman-Users] Danish characters - in "result of your commands" and in Mail archive

[Henrik Rasmussen]

I have found quite a few descriptions about this, but none of them seems to be able to solve the problem.

I am using:

* Mailman 2.1.5
* Python-2.3.4-14.4.el4_6.1
* Redhat-release-4AS-7
* postfix-2.2.10-1.1.el4


I have a few cases of Danish characters not beind displayed correctly.

1) "Result of you commands" e-mail contains Quoted Printable
2) The E-mail archive is displayed in UTF-8



1)

When users subscribe or unsubscribe to a list with a mail containing Danish characters æøåÆØÅ, they receive a mail with the result of their commands. This mail includes the 2 standard sections "Results" and "Not handled" (translated from Danish, so they might have other names). In the section of Not handled, the text is displayed in Quoted Printable "=20" or "=E6=F8=E5=C6=D8=C5".

I've read somewhere that I am suppose to put DEFAULT_CHARSET into mm_cfg.py, but as I understand the comments in the Defaults.py file, this is only when using Pipermail. Anyway, it doesn't change anything when I set it to ['iso-8859-1'].

Sending the mail as plain text, UTF-8, the resulting mail contains

    æøåÆØÅ
    w6bDuMOlw4bDmMOFDQo=

How am I support to make the result mails human readable?



2)

The list's mail archive in mailserver.domain.tld/mailman/private/mylist/ contains Thread, Title, Author and Dato in Danish (Marts 2008: [ Tr d ] [ Titel ] [ Forfatter ] [ Dato ]  [ Tekst 765 bytes ]). The webpage source contains the the word "Tråd" (instead of Tråd) and since the page is displayed in UTF-8, the word is displayed as "Tr d" with a square instead of the danish character.

I have tried changing the å in /usr/lib/mailman/templates/da/archtocentry.html to Tråd (and restarting Mailman), but this doesn't change anything. Changing the DEFAULT_CHARSET in mm_cfg.py doesn't make any chances either.

When changing the character set for the displayed webpage in the browser, to "West european (Windows)", the character displayed correct.

How can I change the archive to use ISO8859-1 instead of UTF-8?
