Mailman assumes the mass subscribe list is encoded in the character set
of the list's preferred language. What this is depends on the language
and is defined by the add_language directives at the end of Defaults.py.
For example, a few entries are:
add_language('en', _('English (USA)'), 'us-ascii', 'ltr')
add_language('es', _('Spanish (Spain)'), 'iso-8859-1', 'ltr')
add_language('et', _('Estonian'), 'iso-8859-15', 'ltr')
add_language('eu', _('Euskara'), 'iso-8859-15', 'ltr')
add_language('gl', _('Galician'), 'utf-8', 'ltr')
It is fairly simple to change the default character set for English to
utf-8 because us-ascii is a proper subset of utf-8, but that's the only
such case. See the FAQ at <http://wiki.list.org/x/6oDz>.
Changing the character set for other languages involves a procedure
similar to that outlined for Swedish in the link in e.c.'s reply.
