From what I know, diaciritcs should work. (pasting an email to the list) Just a warning, it seem that the mailman setup on lists.freedesktop.org chokes on diacritics. So don't use special characters in the name. I tried to input my name with diacritics and I got this nice message: ============================== Bug in Mailman version 2.1.9 We're sorry, we hit a bug! Please inform the webmaster for this site of this problem. Printing of traceback and other system information has been explicitly inhibited, but the webmaster can find this information in the Mailman error logs. ============================== As a test sting you can use my name "Eddy Petrișor" (that charaters you might not see correctly is "s comma", unicode point 0x021A) and there are several such other characters -- see http://wiki.debian.org/L10N/Romanian/CommaTransition for details about comma characters)
Confirm this bug. Works when i write my name as "Tomas Chvatal" but fails when i write it as "Tomáš Chvátal".
Hi Tomáš, thanks for the report. With anyluck we'll be upgrading mailman in the not too distant future and this issue I believe is fixed in later versions.
I seem to have managed to subscribe using a non-latin1 name now, so I'll mark this as closed.
