As you can see,ÅÄÖ are correctly distributed in address@concealed.
If the problem occurs in the mailling list distribution process, that's
a problem with your sendmail configuration. If the problem occurs when
sympa reply to commands, that may be because of the Content-Transfert-Encoding
used by sympa. That's because the default langage is US which used "us-ascii"
charset and 7bit Content-Transfert-Encoding.

There is 3 solutions
 -1- you should translate the nls/us.msg into nls/se.msg and send it to us as
     a contribution. In this case you will adapt the nls set 12 whitch is in
     nls:us.msg

        $set 12 MIME headers
        1       "1.0"
        2       "us-ascii"
        3       "7bit"

 -2- you may patch the nls/us.msg and changed the charset and 
     Content-Transfert-Encoding. don't forgot to may and install
     the resulting nls.

 -3- you may produce a full mime message for the welcome message
     It just need to include the from: header feld, 
Content-Transfert-Encoding,
     Content-Type, Charset and so on. Then Sympa will respect thoses headers.


I would be pleased to have some feed back on the idea that that the default
Content-Transfert-Encoding in next version 3.0 of sympa could be "8bit" 
insteed of
"7bit". Is there some problems with such configuration and US sendmail common
configurations ?
