This is not a GNU mailman bug. It is a Debian/Ubuntu issue. See <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1462755> including comment #6 and the list posts linked from there.
Note that in current Debian/Ubuntu packages there is Debian 91_utf8.patch (available, e.g. in <http://http.debian.net/debian/pool/main/m/mailman/mailman_2.1.18-2+deb8u1.debian.tar.xz>) Among other things, this patch redefines the add_language() function to ignore the third argument and force the encoding to UTF-8. Your issue is one or both of two things: You may have custom 'de' templates that are latin-1 encoded (Debian's patch recodes all the standard templates to utf-8). You have strings in list attributes that are latin-1 encoded (Definitely in 'description' attributes. This is the part that Debian completely overlooked. The recode_list script mentioned at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/1462755/comments/6> and the mailman-users list thread also mentioned in that comment may help. There also seems to be another issue in your case. The boilerplate at the top of <https://lists.uferwerk.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/> comes from translated strings in messages/de/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.mo. Debian's patch recodes all these to utf-8 in its distribution, but for some reason your compiled German message catalog contains latin-1 strings. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1685946 Title: Mismatch between declared and actual encoding in mail notifications and web pages To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mailman/+bug/1685946/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
