The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün - CRU <address@concealed>]

You should not have installed this CVS version : 5.3b.1 includes lots of 
changes regarding characters encoding and is not stable. Thats' the 
reason why we did not announce it publicaly.

You should either go back to 5.2.3 or upgrade to the CVS HEAD version 
that fixes some charset problems (though we did not run it ourselves yet)
