The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Anders Lund <address@concealed>]

A little addition to what I said. The message sent from Thunderbird was
with character encoding ISO-8859-1. If I send using UTF-8 I get the same
result as with posting through the web GUI. I've sent 3 messages now:
 1) through the web interface
 2) with Thunderbird and ISO-8859-1
 3) with Thunderbird and UTF-8
The resulting RSS feed has

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?>

and

<language>en_US</language>

and includes UTF-8 characters from message 1 and 3, but ISO-8859-1 from
message 2. So my question is if it is possible to change this in a way
that should give correct result in all RSS readers?
