The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

Hi Walter,

The next version of Sympa, 5.3, will have better support for all kind of encodings.
Here is a (non exhaustive) list of what should work better :

• Web pages are now UTF-8 whatever the language is. It makes things either to mix different character encodings (web archives, moderation)
• Service messages should be able to mix different encodings, thanks to Soji Ikeda's work.
• Decoding/encoding of SMTP header fields was buggy for non-ISO messages. We're now using a new MIME library that should respect headers fields encodings

i`ve tested that on Sympa 5.x and there seems to work. I`m not sure, if
fully UTF-8 support is implemented in 4.1.2, which is ou productive
environment. So we will upgrade on Sympa 5.x in near future.

Betreff: [sympa-users] Encoding Problem in Subject with UTF-8 

Hello List,

we have trouble sending Emails in UTF-8 Enconding with Sympa.

We use a custom HTML Email Generator, which sends a Email as 
Newsletter with approval to Sympa with 
german äöü in Subject and Encoding UTF-8. 

The attachment in "Article to be approved for list" the 
encoding of the Email is still UTF-8 encoded, 
BUT in wwsympa -> list admin -> moderate i get the following: 
Test Webletter äöü test

In detailpage under subject i see: 
=?UTF-8?Q?Test_Webletter_=C3=A4=C3=B6=C3=BC_test?=
The encoding of wwsympa is ISO 8859-1.

After confirmation the recipiants get the Email with Subject 
"Test Webletter äöü test", the encoding
is now as well ISO 8859-1 in Email.

Sympa is running on Solaris 8 encoding us7-ascii.
