Greetings. I was recently stung by the situation where somebody apparently subscribed to my us-ascii configured system with an extended Latin-1 char in their "real name" (probably via e-mail, though I'm not certain). This resulted in mail distributions failing and being shunted upon hitting that name due to an "out of range" error.
I cured this quickly by switching the mailman definition over to iso-8859-1 to get the mail out, but this has side-effects I'd prefer not to have continue (including ordinary ascii Subject lines being iso-encoded unnecessarily).
Is there a simple change I can make to simply prevent the member name(s) in question from shunting the entire distribution? I've been looking over the code but I don't know it well enough to be sure that I won't cause unintended side-effects.
Thanks much.
