I hope it eventually works, it should as it can handle 2byte charsets
natively.

I've fixed that now. I'm not sure how to permanently do this as it
comes from the generic webwml templates.

Language selection is broken. I have no idea why its doing that as
everything looks fine with it. I have asked on the mnogosearch email
list about this problem.

Ah google does it right, let's see then.
Search for you,which ifthis email client doesn't mangle it should be
??? ?? (looks like question marks to me).
Now, if I pick it up from the search page, I get
http://search.debian.org/new/search.en.cgi?q=%E4%B9%85%E4%BF%9D%E7%94%B0+%E6%99%BA%E5%BA%83
and results look sensible.
I then searched ???????? which is something to do with security
and got
http://search.debian.org/new/search.en.cgi?q=%E3%82%BB%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A5%E3%83%AA%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E6%83%85%E5%A0%B1&ps=10&o=0&m=and&lang=
with no results
and
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=%E3%82%BB%E3%82%AD%E3%83%A5%E3%83%AA%E3%83%86%E3%82%A3%E6%83%85%E5%A0%B1&btnG=Google+Search
with lots of results.
I don't understand why its not giving the right results.
