Because the list language is English and the character set for English in Mailman is us-ascii. If you set the list's preferred_language to Russian, the archives will be in koi8-r, Mailman's character set for Russian. (This will only affect messages added after the change unless you rebuild the archive.) -- Mark Sapiro <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
