Suspect that's only the beginning of the trouble that will be caused, so I'm hoping we really don't want unicode usernames values as a rule. I fixed it in subscribe.py with fullname = fullname.encode('iso8859-1'), but note that canonstr is used elsewhere like this. ----------------------------------------------------------------------
