Software versions: Python 2.3.3 Mailman 2.1.4

After reading through the archives and applying the Scrubber.py patch from:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=891491&group_id=103&atid=300103

I still have UnicodeDecodeErrors within Header.py:

According to the python traceback in mailman/logs/error it looks as though it is failing while trying to decode the subject line of the message. Upon further inspection of the guilty messages the subject lines do indeed appear to contain characters that could not be decoded (SpamAssassin gave the messages high spam-levels as well as failing with test SUBJ_ILLEGAL_CHARS among others).

Is there a patch which handles this problem in Header.py? I do not wish to have legitimate email shunted if I can avoid it.
