[[!meta title="Why are messages in the list archive encrypted?"]]
The Obnam mailing list archives sometimes have messages that look like
they're encrypted. They aren't, it's actually just a base64 encoding,
so it's easy enough to undo. The base64 encoding in the archives
happens due to some bug in the mailing list software, which the people
hosting the lists haven't been able to fix. It will hopefully be fixed
in a future upgrade to a new version of Mailman.
Meanwhile, [Gmane]() provides a much nicer interface to the mailing
list than Mailman's archives, and doesn't suffer from this problem.
Gmane is highly recommended. See the
<http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.sysutils.backup.obnam> group there
for the Obnam support list.
