In this category you can specify the password for -these roles. +Mailman is multilingual and internationalized, meaning you can set up +your list so that members can interact with it in any of a number of +natural languages. Of course, Mailman won't translate list +postings. :) + +<P> +However, if your site administrator has enabled its support, you can +set your list up to support any of about two dozen languages, such as +German, Italian, Japanese, or Spanish. Your list members can then +choose any of your supported languages as their <em>preferred +language</em> for interacting with the list. Such things as their member +options page will be displayed in this language. Each mailing list +also has its own <em>preferred language</em> which is the language the +list supports if no other language context is known. + +<P> +These variables control the language settings for your mailing list: + +<P> +<DL> +<DT><STRONG>preferred_language</STRONG></DT> +<DD>This is the list's preferred language, which is the language that + the list administrative pages will be displayed in. Also any + messages sent to the list owners by Mailman will be sent in this + language. This option is presented as a drop-down list containing + the language enabled in the <code>available_languages</code> variable. + +<P> +</DD> +<DT><STRONG>available_languages</STRONG></DT> +<DD>This set of checkboxes contains all the natural languages that + your site administrator has made available to your mailing lists. + Select any language that you'd either like your members to be able + to view the list in, or that you'd like to be able to use in your + list's <code>preferred_language</code> variable. <P> -The list owner has total control over the configuration of their -mailing list (within some bounds as specified by the site -administrator). Note that on this page, for historical reasons, the -list owner role is described here as the <i>list administrator</i>. -You can set the list owner's password by entering it in the password -field on the left. You must type it twice for confirmation. Note -that if you forget this password, the only way for you to get back -into your list's administrative pages is to ask the site administrator -to reset it for you (there's no password reminders for list owners). +</DD> +<DT><STRONG>encode_ascii_prefixes</STRONG></DT> +<DD>If your mailing list's preferred language uses a non-ASCII + character set and the <code>subject_prefix</code> contains non-ASCII + characters, the prefix will always be encoded according to the + relevant standards. However, if your subject prefix contains only + ASCII characters, you may want to set this option to <em>Never</em> + to disable prefix encoding. This can make the subject headers + slightly more readable for users with mail readers that don't + properly handle non-ASCII encodings. <P> -If you want to delegate list moderation to someone else, you can enter -a different moderator password in the field on the right (typed twice -for confirmation). Note that if you aren't going to delegate -moderation, and the same people are going to both configure the list -and moderate postings to the list, don't enter anything into the -moderator password fields. If you do enter a separate moderator -password, be sure to fill in the <code>moderator</code> variable in the -<i>General options</i> category page. +Note however, that if your mailing list receives both encoded and + unencoded subject headers, you might want to choose <em>As + needed</em>. Using this setting, Mailman will not encode ASCII + prefixes when the rest of the header contains only ASCII + characters, but if the original header contains non-ASCII + characters, it will encode the prefix. This avoids an ambiguity + in the standards which could cause some mail readers to display + extra, or missing spaces between the prefix and the original + header. +</DD> +</DL> <P> <DIV CLASS="navigation"> -<p><hr> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<p></p><hr /> <table align="center" width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="2"> <tr> -<td><A HREF="node15.html"><img src="../icons/previous.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Previous Page" width="32"></A></td> -<td><A HREF="node9.html"><img src="../icons/up.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Up One Level" width="32"></A></td> -<td><A HREF="node17.html"><img src="../icons/next.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Next Page" width="32"></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="prev" title="2.2 The Passwords Category" + href="node15.html"><img src='previous.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Previous Page' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="parent" title="2 The List Configuration" + href="node8.html"><img src='up.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Up One Level' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="next" title="2.4 The Membership Management" + href="node17.html"><img src='next.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Next Page' width='32' /></A></td> <td align="center" width="100%">GNU Mailman - List Administration Manual</td> -<td><A href="contents.html"><img src="../icons/contents.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="Contents" width="32"></A></td> -<td><img src="../icons/blank.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="" width="32"></td> -<td><img src="../icons/blank.gif" - border="0" height="32" - alt="" width="32"></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><a rel="contents" title="Table of Contents" + href="contents.html"><img src='contents.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='Contents' width='32' /></A></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> +<td class='online-navigation'><img src='blank.png' + border='0' height='32' alt='' width='32' /></td> </tr></table> -<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node15.html">3.1.5 Additional settings</A> -<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node9.html">3 The List Configuration</A> -<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> <a class="sectref" HREF="node17.html">3.3 The Language Options</A> -<hr> -<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on October 2, 2004.</span> +<div class='online-navigation'> +<b class="navlabel">Previous:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="prev" href="node15.html">2.2 The Passwords Category</A> +<b class="navlabel">Up:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="parent" href="node8.html">2 The List Configuration</A> +<b class="navlabel">Next:</b> +<a class="sectref" rel="next" href="node17.html">2.4 The Membership Management</A> +</div> +</div> +<hr /> +<span class="release-info">Release 2.1, documentation updated on December 13, 2004.</span> </DIV> <!--End of Navigation Panel--> |
