The best answer would be to change the list's preferred_language to Icelandic, but unfortunately, there is no Icelandic i18n for Mailman. If you or someone or some group you know is interested in translating Mailman to Icelandic, I'm sure you could get help and advice from the mailman-i...@python.org list <http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-i18n>. The next option, assuming the list's preferred_language is English, is to change Mailman's character set for English from 'us-ascii' to 'iso-8859-1'. You (or the Mailman admin at your host) would do this by putting the line add_language('en', 'English (USA)', 'iso-8859-1', 'ltr') in mm_cfg.py and restarting Mailman. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
