That's weird. That leaves open the possibility of a bug in Mailman (ie, it's decoding the header then passing it to the email module). Does the message contain the MIME-Version: 1.0 header? Of course it's possible that the MUA is just inserting those headers but it's a lie (the MUA thinks that's enough to let it get away with just putting UTF-8 *anywhere*). But note that 0xF8 is illegal in UTF-8 (for several reasons), so most likely that is intended as an ISO 8-bit character. Do you agree that the interpretation of 0xF8 as "ø" is likely here? > >The only reasonable solution is to get your users to stop doing that. > >This may require them to subscribe that address from a different MUA. > > This would not be a practicable solution, since we have subscribers > from around the world. The alternative is far worse, though: to ask "Søren" to spell his name as "Soren". :-( ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
