[Mailman-i18n] Charset of Plaintext Templates

[Bernhard Schmidt]

Hi,

I've just noticed that Mailman sends wrongly encoded German mails for
admin approval of subscriptions that looks like this

---
Ihre Genehmigung ist für den folgenden Abonnementswunsch
erforderlich:

    Für:    xxx at lrz.de
    Liste:  yyy at lists.lrz.de

Bitte besuchen Sie bei Gelegenheit

um diese Anfrage zu beantworten.

The charset of the mail is UTF-8, and templates/de/subauth.txt is also
UTF-8, but the text looks like the UTF-8 template has been parsed as
ISO8859-1 and recoded into UTF-8 again.

Recoding templates/de/subauth.txt to ISO8859-1 fixes the issue.

We have a lot of different encodings even within the same language and
filetype

mailman/templates/de (1) % file *

userpass.txt:            ISO-8859 text
verify.txt:              ISO-8859 text

I don't quite get the code, but it looks like at least *.txt should be
ISO8859-1 at the moment.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
