Unfortunately it is not. :( After some testing I've found that AddDefaultCharset does not help - it seems like Mailman changes default server's header to its own default header for US English language: us-ascii. You can change this for list-specific pages by selecting another language but not for common lists index page which is always in us-ascii encoding. 2015-02-07 0:18 GMT+02:00 Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net>: > It looks like you may have entered the list's description attributes and > probably other things in UTF-8 encoding.

It is not true, because you can see correct Russian text on page provided if you change page's encoding to Cyrillic KOI8-R in your browser. In this case I can only suggest quite ugly workaround: to add to <Mailman home>/Mailman/mm_cfg.py file this line and restart Mailman: add_language('en', 'English (USA)', 'koi8-r', 'ltr') This line will force Mailman to output all English pages including server list index page with KOI8-R encoding. It will be okay for English and Russian text both. Danil > In Mailman 2.1.15, the encoding for Russian is koi8-r and data for the > web UI needs to be entered in that character set.
