I've recently upgraded an ancient 2.1.12 mailman installation to 2.1.39 and noticed an encoding issue, when adding users via add_members.
Steps to reproduce and fix the issue: 1. Put these accented user names in an utf-8 file (users-utf-8.txt): Těst Accénti <t...@dominio.it> Mariò Rosśi <mario.ro...@dominio.it> 2. Set un a dummy list "dummylist" with it(alian) and en(glish) as languages 3. Set italian as main language 4. remove_members --all -n -N dummylist 5. add_members -a n -w n -r users-utf-8.txt dummylist You will see garbage and encoding problems in the output, which you will see also on the web interface. 6. Switch the main language to en(glish). 7. Repeat 4&5: no garbage 8. I've edited /usr/lib/mailman/messages/it/LC_MESSAGES/mailman.po, setting "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8\n" and saved it as utf-8. Then I've recompiled mailman.mo from the modified mailman.po 9. Switch the main language to it(alian). 10. Repeat 4&5: no garbage Not sure it this might affect also other languages. ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list -- mailman-users@python.org To unsubscribe send an email to mailman-users-le...@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman3/lists/mailman-users.python.org/ Mailman FAQ: http://wiki.list.org/x/AgA3 Security Policy: http://wiki.list.org/x/QIA9 Searchable Archives: https://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users@python.org/ https://mail.python.org/archives/list/mailman-users@python.org/ Member address: arch...@jab.org
