Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Jan Kellermann (werk21) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: 2.1.6B4: encode_ascii_prefixes error Initial Comment: Hi! Mailman seems not to encode the subject prefix correctly. Options: Language: german (iso-8859-1) encode_ascii_prefixes: Always Prefix: ��� my mailsubject: ��� result: =?utf-8?b?W8OEw7bDnF0=?= =?iso-8859-1?q? =E4=F6=FC?= my Mailsubject: test result: =?utf-8?b?W8OEw7bDnF0=?= test Mailman seems to convert always in utf regardless of which language is chosen. The result is a subject-line with two different encodings if you have special chars in prefix and the subject-line. A lot of mailcleints do not support this so that in the display (not in the mailheader) the subject after the prefix is lost. And the space between prefix and subject will be lost because it is not encoded. This problem we did not have before using mailman version 2.2a. The MTA is postfix. I dont know if postfix is doing this encoding to utf or mailman. In this case mailman fails to convert the prefix. If I choose encode_ascii_prefixes: Needed I get the same result. If I choose encode_ascii_prefixes: Never I get the same result. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100103&aid=1178199&group_id=103 _______________________________________________ Mailman-coders mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-coders
