Yes. This is how it's done. Prior to this, the message is processed by Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py (unless replaced by setting ARCHIVE_SCRUBBER in mm_cfg.py). Scrubber removes non-text and "character set unspecified" text attachments and replaces them with a link to a separate file where they are stored. Scrubber then converts all remaining text parts (in the multipart case) from their specified character set to the character set of the list. If the message is a single text/plain part (not MIME multipart), Scrubber doesn't change it. In this case HyperArch.py attempts to convert the character set of the message, but if it is unspecified, it is assumed to be that of the list, and if it isn't, the message will be garbled. You need to find one of these 'garbled' messages in the archives/private/listname.mbox/listname.mbox file. This should be the raw message as sent by Mailman to the list. You may be able to see from this message what the issue is. If not, post the raw message, and we will try to help. >The list administrator claims that when the emails are sent to the >list, they all appear with the correct character set.

What factors could cause them to be displayed with the >incorrect character set on the archive pages? Incorrect character set specification on the message or a sub-part or no character set specification at all on a text/plain message. Maybe other things too. -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
