What was the problem with the .mo? Is something wrong in the distribution? Note that Debian's (and Ubuntu's) Mailman 2.1 package at one time[1] recoded templates and message catalogs to UTF-8 and changed the definition of add_language in Defaults.py to hard-code utf-8 as the charset for every language. This was OK as far as it went, but they didn't consider the issue of strings in list attributes being encoded in the old charset. This caused serious issues for some sites. See <https://mail.python.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/JDLVQY3EUEN2W4VIC4XVMO2HOT53NMZ5/#NTXJUVDV7SUWSLAPJ7AQTZTXGJGJW6DR> for one thread on this. [1] They appear to have removed <https://sources.debian.org/patches/mailman/1:2.1.18-2/91_utf8.patch/> from the latest packages. It was in their 1:2.1.23-1 package, but is not in the 1:2.1.29-1 package. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
