Is the mailman web interface supposed to recode everything to UTF on the fly? Because, firefox thinks, that the pages are in UTF-8, presumably because that's what the server says. Strangely, after I recompiled de in UTF-8, German umlauts would display correctly, but Russian, which has been in UTF-8 all along is suddenly messed up. And here, it is not the message strings that are messed up but it is the contents of listinfo.html that is in some 8 bit Russian charset. How does that happen? Apparently I can't just delete a subdirectory in /etc/mailman, because even after running dpkg-reconfigure mailman and selecting the languages that I want, the directory is created, but it is empty. How can I manually regenerate the languages? Cheers, and thanks for your support!
