My problem is that when I distribute messages via the Yahoo groups mailing lists, all utf-8 accented characters get garbled. I did several experiments with mm-content-transfer-encoding-defaults to see if base64, 8bit, or quoted-printable would be handled correctly by yahoo, with no success. Yahoo only handles iso-8859-1. If I had my choice, I would dump Yahoo groups and use a less broken list manager, but I don't have this option! So.... Is there any way to set a gnus hook that recodes a utf-8 email into latin1 plus html entities when sending to any address of the form .*@yahoogroupes.fr? I know that the unix program recode can do this kind of thing, but I don't understand: - which gnus or message hook I should modify; - how such a conversion would interact with the mime handling; - how to apply a conversion to the Subject line. Any help would be gratefully received. Regards, James Leifer
