Initial Comment: I'm using MM 2.1.1 with Redhat 9.0 (rpm packages). When I see MM can use big5 I'm teting it with fun and it give me an problem that I never think of. In state changing the whole/system wide to big5, I've choose to change the preferred_language in one of my list (dailycquote) to be big5. This cause a big problem I can never get into the admin page anymore. not even bin/config_list -o . This is the error message Traceback: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/mailman/scripts/driver", line 87, in run_main main() File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 192, in main show_results(mlist, doc, category, subcat, cgidata) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 515, in show_results form.AddItem(show_variables(mlist, category, subcat, cgidata, doc)) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 564, in show_variables add_options_table_item(mlist, category, subcat, table, item) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 579, in add_options_table_item val = get_item_gui_value(mlist, category, kind, varname, params, extra) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Cgi/admin.py", line 615, in get_item_gui_value value = gui.getValue(mlist, kind, varname, params) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Gui/General.py", line 446, in getValue return Utils.uncanonstr(mlist.subject_prefix, mlist.preferred_language) File "/var/mailman/Mailman/Utils.py", line 761, in uncanonstr return s.encode(charset) LookupError: unknown encoding: big5 (when accessing the admin page, after keyin password) This is the error from CLI when using config_list.
