[Mailman-Users] Quoted-printable in the Web interface for the poor moderator [netaktiv.com #104]

A client of us is unhappy of the Web page he sees as a moderator. When
people send email encoded in quoted-printable (they should not but we
do not have enough bullets to get rid of all Outlook users), the
moderator sees =E9 and other awful things on the Web page.

Could the Web interface of Mailman handle the problem? Since
quoted-printable is not a Web thing, Mailman should, IMHO.

Or should I add a de-quoter program in front of Mailman like explained
in:

http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=all#4.13

If so, does anyone have a good one to share (very robust, handle
multiparts, preferrably written in Python, etc)? Most programs at the
above URL strip MIME parts but do not transcode quoted-printable in
8-bits.
