[Sca-cooks] Kalács

[Joel Lord]

For reasons that have never been made public that I am aware of, mailman 
2.x never fully adopted utf-8 for English lists.  If our host were to 
want to fix this for us, the easy answer is that he add:

add_language('en', 'English (USA)', 'utf-8', 'ltr')

to his mm_cfg.py file in the ${mailman_base}/Mailman/ directory.

Of course, I have no idea if our host is on this list...
