[Mailman-Users] decoding unicode error

[Stoyan Angelov]

hi all,


recently i migrated my mailman lists to a new machine and at the same 
time i upgraded to the latest version available at that time - 2.1.12rc2 
(from 2.1.1).
with the new version i am getting lots of error messages in the error 
log and lots of shunted messages, additionally digest are not being send:

Feb 23 13:51:15 2009 (13445) Uncaught runner exception: decoding Unicode 
is not supported

Feb 23 14:00:29 2009 (13448) send_digests() failed: decoding Unicode is 
not supported

i found that the above problem was fixed in the final 2.1.12 version 
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/328353) so i upgraded my 
mailman installation to 2.1.12.

after the upgrade i ran the senddigests script manually but i still get 
the following error:

$ /usr/bin/python -S /usr/local/mailman/cron/senddigests
List: sgd-users: problem processing 
/usr/local/mailman/lists/xxx-users/digest.mbox:
decoding Unicode is not supported
List: sunray-users: problem processing 
/usr/local/mailman/lists/yyy-users/digest.mbox:
decoding Unicode is not supported

i am using opensolaris snv_10 (x64) and python 2.4.4.

any help will be greatly appreciated!


greetings,
