Well, what happens?  I see two `n''s with tildes, an accented `a' and an
accented `u'.

If you're seeing those letters replaced by something like =D1, =F1, =E1 and
=FA, you're seeing what sendmail does to extended characters under certain
circumstances.  This is called MIME quoted-printable, and is decoded by
good mail and news readers.  Majordomo isn't inserting these.

There are sendmail configuration options relating to this; what they are
depends on the version of sendmail you're running and is better discussed
on comp.mail.sendmail.

Of course, if this isn't the problem you're seeing, ignore me completely.
