charset="Windows-1252" in archive

[Iar]

The archives seem to have trouble with Windows-1252
encoding. This is from the headers of such message:

Content-Type: text/plain;
        charset="Windows-1252"
Subject: [F1] =?Windows-1252?Q?
RE=3A_=5BF1=5D_=5BF1=5D_Sp=E1_fyrir_Monako?=

The Subject appears like this in the archives instead
of being decoded.

Don't know if this is a bug with the email client
or Mailman but thought I'd mention it, there seems
to be a lot of these things acording to a Google
search for Mailman and Windows-1252.

The bug is in HyperArch.py line 158. Check out the patch
attached to bug report #449677 at
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=449677&group_id=103&atid=100103

-- actually, I just realized I should upload it to the
Patches section as well, and will do so now.

The problem is that HyperArch.py assumes charsets are in
the form \w+ (a-z A-Z 0-9 _ only). But they can and do
have other characters like -, as you've seen. The patch
is to replace "\w+" in HyperArch line 158 with: ".+?"

This will make it match any character non-greedily up to
the next ", without going past it. Hope this helps!

Marked this bug as 'Invalid' due to its age and nothing further has been added in a long time. New versions have been released since as well as some underlying stuff in the OS platform itself.

If this bug still affects then please change status back to 'Confirmed'.
