If message headers contain unencoded special chars. I have just
applied additional rules in our content filter to iron that out, it's
not really mailmans fault.

This behaviour leaves me with UTF-8 as my only choice, because the
default encoding for "German" can't even represent a currency sign
properly.

After converting the message catalogues (messages/de/mailman.po) and
the template files (templates/de/*.{html,txt}) as described in
README-I18N.en and migrating the lists in question, rebuilding the web
archives etc., I've switched that option on.
The result is somewhat unexpected: The message translation for
'-------------- next part --------------'
is
'-------------- n"achster Teil --------------'
where the '"a" represents an "Umlaut", "ä". This "ä" gets encoded
wrongly in the mail sent out, typcial "two chars" error ("Â~" or
soemthing like that). Interstingly, the next line talking about binary
data which got cut out, which does _also_ include an "ä" gets encoded
correctly. Can you give me any hint on this? Replacement is done in
Scrubber.py, line 392 here:
# Now join the text and set the payload
sep = _('-------------- next part --------------\n')
replace_payload_by_text(msg, sep.join(text), charset)
Do you think there might be other occurances of wrongly encoded
strings read in from the message catalogue or the templates?
Ciao
Stefan
P.S: I can upgrade from 2.1.9 if you think that it will make debugging
easier.
