[Mailman-Users] patch for Re: problems with different chatsets

[Tokio Kikuchi]

Hi Folks,

I've been reading -users with digest option. So, forgive me for
cutting the thread. Since the patch manager of SF is not allowing
to upload a new patch now, I send this to the list. (sorry, if
it's folded)

With this patch, Decorate.py will try to make the footer and header
in a plain text message by converting the three into unicode and
then encode in a appropriate (defined by mailman) charset.

Hope it helps!
