I am guessing that you are talking about plain text message bodies with character set UTF-8, and your list is adding a msg_header or msg_footer, although there could be other cases as well. This issue is due to the Python email package. In order to add a msg_header or msg_footer to the message body, mailman has to do set_payload() on the email.message.Message instance. This in turn does set_charset() which encodes the body with the encoding of the body_encoding attribute of the email.charset.Charset instance for that character set. For UTF-8, this is base64. If my guess is correct, you may be able to avoid the re-encoding by making sure the list's msg_header and msg_footer are empty. Otherwise, you could look at Mailman/Handlers/Decorate.py and try adding the following near the beginning after "import re" import email.charset email.charset.CHARSETS['utf-8'] = (SHORTEST, None, 'utf-8') -- Mark Sapiro <[email protected]> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
