I don't buy that really.. This is a Mailman generated e-mail, sent out when a user joins the list in this manner; 1. Sign up on the Mailman list web page. 2. Verify their e-mail address. 3. Moderator validates. 4. Mailman sends a welcome message, and THIS e-mail is the one containing the erroneous characters. I guess that the problem is in the way Mailman and Apache interprets what I enter in the welcome_msg text entry box in the Mailman Admin page, after all, this is a web page, and hence entered characters are converted somewhere to their html complaint sets, i.e. ä turns to ä Is there some way to manually change these values? Perhaps via config_list dump, edit and reload?
