Hello, a list subscriber sends mail through the Simon Frazer University System in Vancouver, and whenever there are a few non-ascii characters in his mail (usually the microsoft quotation marks) his mail is converted into base64 and a header of the kind
X-MIME-Autoconverted: from 8bit to base64 by rm-rstar.sfu.ca id h9KNQMpl000451 is inserted. Mailman 2.1.2 converts these messages into 8-bit in the digest, which makes them legible, but they appear as illegible base64-globs the archives, and it converts them into multipart/mixed in the non-archive version of the list, with the main text still encoded in base64, and the mailing list footer as the second part. Is it possible to have Mailman convert them into 8-bit in the archives and the individual messages as well? Or is this a job for the MTA (exim) and I should ask this question on the exim mailing list? What would be a desirable solution here (not every mail recipient is able to read this base64-stuff.) I am running Debian woody and mailman from the unofficial package depository deb http://debian.jones.dk woody misc Thank you for your advice. -- Hans G.
