The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

These symptoms are due to the way Sympa encodes web pages. Until the 
current 5.2.1 version, web pages are encoded using the charset defined 
in each messages catalog. Web page are iso-8859-1 encoded in French, 
utf-8 encoded in English, iso-8859-2 encoded in Hungarian.

Next release will manage (already does in CVS) encoding much better : 
all web pages will be utf-8 encoded, thus allowing mixure of different 
writings in a single page. The recoding is performed using the powerfull 
Encode perl module.

You'll have to cope with this until Sympa 5.3 is released.
