Yes, this is due to non-ascii in the display name portion of the From: header. I'm investigating a fix, but I'm not sure if this is an RFC 2047 encoded header or if the raw header contains non-ascii. If the latter, the message is non-compliant - RFC 5321 and predecessors require all raw headers to contain only ascii characters. As far as "all of a sudden use ASCII" is concerned. Mailman's character set for English has always been ascii, and for German, iso-8859-1. -- Mark Sapiro <m...@msapiro.net> The highway is for gamblers, San Francisco Bay Area, California better use your sense - B.
