It would be nice if cjkcodecs provided backwards compatibility. Otherwise, we probably want to provide some ourselves in email/Charset.py. I'm not sure there's a better way to do this, but attached is a strawman (untested) patch for email 2.5.5/Python 2.3.4.

Amend that. If I understand how all this works correctly, then importing cjkcodecs.aliases provides direct mapping for all the charsets. So since we already have "import cjkcodecs.aliases" in Mailman's paths.py, we could just delete euc-jp, iso-2022-jp, shift_jis, euc-kr, iso-2022-kr, ks_c_5601-1987, and johab from CODEC_MAP and be done with it. It looks like we didn't need these aliases in CODEC_MAPS even with the older codec packages, since they define all the aliases as well. -Barry
