Hi,
Thanks a lot for your response. Clearly someone's mail software is
putting in 8 bit headers, not encoding them using RFC 2047, and
therefore Mailman is shunting the mail. At least I know what to look for
now.
Is there any resource I can read (bar the source) on how 8 bit headers /
bodies are treated? Does Mailman clobber 8 bit bodies, etc etc?
Regards,
