It looks like something is encoding the characters as utf-8 and then the utf-8 characters are not being identified/rendered properly. What does the raw subject header look like in the mail that comes to you directly? Is it RFC 2047 encoded <http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2047.html>, or is it just a raw subject with non-ascii characters encoded in some non-specified character set. Also, what is the list's preferred language? The only issue of which I am aware in current mailman is that non-RFC 2047 encoded 8-bit characters in the subject will cause the addition of subject_prefix to be skipped. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
