Hi, About your bug report to Debian about Mailman. http://bugs.debian.org/315358
This is actually purely an upgrading bug. Mailman 2.1 will refuse to subscribe any address that contains non-ascii characters, so these subscriptions can come only from an upgraded 2.0 (or earlier) installation. In that case the mailing list database is corrupted, actually. It contains strings that are supposed to be ascii strings, but contain non-ascii characters. That's why you get _decoding_ errors and not _encoding_ errors. I wonder whether we could not rather get rid of the whole encode() call... I'm going to test this and get back to you. (Note to self: Test the following scenarios: Subscribed email address is: 'élie' u'élie' 'elie' u'elie' ) -- Lionel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
