Would have been useful if you noted the date/time you saw the site, the revision of ^/infrastructure/trunk/site at the time, or took a screenshot. The site regenerates hourly.
Anyway, the subject line contains a ™ character, which had gotten encoded, was not decoded by mod_mbox (aka mail-archives.apache.org the software behind), and the CMS stuff just took it literally. I suggest you follow up with the mod_mbox developers (http://httpd.apache.org/mod_mbox/) about the mod_mbox bug. I'll follow up with press@ to advise them not to use UTF-8 in subjects until the bug is fixed. Thanks for the report. t...@apache.org wrote on Fri, Nov 11, 2011 at 16:14:17 -0500: > http://www.apache.org/ > > is showing a garbled announcement for the Tika project.
