Hi:

Three notes from personal experience about trying to approve messages with
8 bit characters in Majordomo 1.94 lists:

-- Never include 8 bit characters in anything added by Majordomo to the
message. Stick to ASCII in majordomo.cf. Sooner or later someone will send
some message with a different encoding to the list and disaster will
follow.

-- in case wilma is used for archiving it will leave headers raw when
answering a query producing the likes of
9908/msg00000:comp_dmist =?ISO-8859-1?Q?=5BGeral=5D_Reorganiza=E7=E3o_desta_lista?=

-- You'll need to teach a few things about email to Outlook
Express users,... Changing its default settings and some patience help.

Otherwise things work pretty well.
