There's a fair bit of conversation around this from days long ago, and a patch for using MHonArc written by Mark S. back in 2014. I didn't write that patch. It's from Richard Barrett who also created a patch for HtDig integration for archive searches. There are three branches at https://code.launchpad.net/~msapiro/mailman/mhonarc, https://code.launchpad.net/~msapiro/mailman/htdig and https://code.launchpad.net/~msapiro/mailman/htdig_mhonarc which are up to date with https://code.launchpad.net/~mailman-coders/mailman/2.1 with the mhonarc, htdig and both patches applied respectively. I never used the mhonarc or htdig_mhonarc branches, but I did use the htdig branch for a production Mailman 2.1 installation. Before I go down this rabbit hole: was there any particular reason (back in the day) that Pipermail was favoured (and implemented) over MHonArc. Mailman was initially implemented by John Viega in the mid 1990s to manage a mailing list for fans of the Dave Mathews Band. I don't know why pipermail was chosen, but MHonArc was fairly new at that time and pipermail was probably more mature. -- Mark Sapiro The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, Californiabetter use your sense - B.

[Mailman-Users] Mailman3 - from Whoosh to Xapian
Kimmo L. writes: > import xapian > ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'xapian' I'm pretty sure this occurs when the Xapian application and its libraries are not installed. xapian-haystack is an adapter from C++ (or maybe C) to Python, it is not a complete installation of the Xapian package. See Requirements at https://pypi.org/project/xapian-haystack/ Have you installed Xapian itself? If you have and still no luck, let us know. I know that many sites have successfully installed Xapian as the indexer for their Mailman instance.

The handling of email headers is done by a library supplied by Python, and that form of the charset name is in all of the ISO 8859 unibyte encodings. In Python 3/Mailman 3 we may be able to change this, but both Python 2 and Mailman 2 are end-of-life so this change won't be made there. In theory you could also change it in Mailman, but it's risky because you'd need to check for it and then substitute this form for the original everywhere it needs to be done, and I can imagine several pathways where it might be present. If you're lucky it might be abstracted into a single function that only needs to be changed in one place, but what if not? "iso-8859-7" with the dash is the preferred form (see https://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets/character-sets.xhtml) so it "should not" cause problems to make this change locally. But that's not something we'd want to bet on for other folks' installations.

I'm not sure that we couldn't do better nowadays with libraries that will handle the same DOM that browsers do, but it certainly wasn't possible in 1994. And even with those libraries it would require a complete rearchitecture of the archiver.
