Hi,
If you get hold of the mailing list admin, could you please add the following:
If someone visits http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/ and tries to subscribe
from the link at the top, s/he will notice that nothing happens.
The problematic link is https://mail.nl.linux.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi
and it appears that the HTTPS virtual server is not working....
Could you please fix?
Thanks, Simos

Hi,
Non-ascii letters appear quite often in this mailing list, but (due to a mhonarc bug) they are usually unreadable in the official web archive of this mailing list.
The bug is known and a fix is already available. About two weeks ago I wrote a mail to the nl.linux.org admin asking for a fix but I got no reply.
Is there someone here (Markus maybe?) who could get in contact with the site admins and fix the archive?
Original mail follows.
Thanks,
Egmont

Hi,
I've found that the web archive of the linux-utf8 mailing list often displays non-ascii characters incorrectly. This is quite bad in general, but especially bad since this particular mailing list is about how to handle non-English letters correctly, and people often write non-ascii letters in their messages to demonstrate things. I see these messages perfectly in my mail client (mutt 1.5.6 running inside an UTF-8 terminal) but they are incorrect in the web archive.
An example is a message sent only a couple of minutes ago: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-utf8/2005-03/msg00011.html whereas the original message is encoded in UTF-8 character set (and Quoted printable transfer encoding, but this shouldn't matter), but the archive shows A and I characters with some accents instead of micro sign, greek mu, german sharp s, greek beta, etc...
This is a bug in mhonarc which is still buggy in their latest release (2.6.10) but already fixed in CVS, see these:
bug report:
http://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=11187
patch and commit log:
http://www.mhonarc.org/archive/html/mhonarc-commits/2004-12/msg00001.html
So theoretically all you'd need to do is apply this trivial patch to mhonarc and re-generate the archives, accented letters would become repaired then. I hope so :-))
Thanks,
Egmont
