Package: mailman
Version: 1:2.1.18-2
Severity: grave
Justification: causes data loss
Hi,
I received a message from one of my list admins that he couldn't send a
mail to his list. Investigating turned up the following in
/var/log/mailman/error:
May 17 15:32:20 2015 (981) Uncaught runner exception: 'utf8' codec can't decode
byte 0xe9 in position 18: invalid continuation byte

I'm not sure why mailman needs to decode the data in the mail as part of
running the queue, but at any rate that shouldn't case the mail to get
lost...
