Before changing the configuration of mailscanner, i performed a test that gave surprising results (for me).
I sent an email to "mylist" containing greek characters. Then, i opened mailman's web interface as the list's moderator to decide about the fate of the incoming email. In the email's body there were unreadable characters such as =E1=E2=E3. Then, i chose "Additionally, forward this message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]" and then "Approve". The members of the list received unreadable base64 encoded characters while the [EMAIL PROTECTED] received proper greek characters. Is this not strange?
