No. Mailman does not detect the encoding enforced by the web server. Mailman builds pages from the templates as provided and sends them with a Content-Type header specifying the encoding as Mailman's configured character set for the language. The problem occurs when the web server tries to enforce a different character encoding causing the encoding specified to the browser to not match that of the page. >> I don't understand.

I have explained in the past my reasons for not accepting your utf-8 encoded templates and message catalog as is and have always recoded them to iso-8859-2. You have been informed of this. See, e.g., <https://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-i18n/2015-February/001854.html>. What I have done here is only an extension of that recoding which replaces iso-8859-2 encoded characters in html templates with equivalent html entities. Please understand that I appreciate your work in keeping the Polish translation up to date and I hope you continue, but there are various technical problems that can occur that would be disruptive to existing Polish language lists if I just arbitrarily switched Mailman's encoding for Polish to utf-8. -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
