Perfect.  I'm committing those changes now.

Fixed, thanks (I was using iso-8859-4).

If the charsets are properly MIME specified, Mailman /should/ convert
everything to Unicode and then encode it in the charset of the
preferred language (in this case `lt' -> iso-8859-13).  There may be
peculiarties with utf-8, and I believe that Python 2.1 doesn't know
about the Windows charsets.

Try subscribing to the Playground list (now updated) and send some
samples through that are breaking the archiver.  I've set the list's
language to Lithuanian now, but it's running on Python 2.1.3.  I'm
upgrading mail.python.org to Python 2.2.2 now...
