Mailman 2.1.12 - Python 2.4.[456] incompatibility
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1
There is an internal inconsistency in the 3.0.2 email package that shipped with Python 2.4.4 through 2.4.6. This has to do with the Charset.Charset() constructor setting input_charset to a unicode which then causes TypeError: decoding Unicode is not supported exceptions in other parts of the email package. This problem does not seem to occur with email 3.0.1 and Python 2.4.[123].
This (along with other stuff) is discussed in the bug report at <https://bugs.launchpad.net/mailman/+bug/328353> and there is a patch for email/Charset.py at <http://launchpadlibrarian.net/23670138/Charset.py.patch>
At this point, the best advice seems to be use Python 2.5 or 2.6 with Mailman 2.1.12.
