Summary: special characters in realnames

Initial Comment:
Mailman crashs when realnames of members include 
special language-specifc characters like german 
"Umlaute" (äöüß). 
 
Traceback (most recent call last): 
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members", line 232, in ? 
    main() 
  File "/usr/lib/mailman/bin/list_members", line 207, in 
main 
    s = formataddr((name, addr)).encode(enc, 'replace') 
UnicodeError: ASCII decoding error: ordinal not in 
range(128) 
 
It isn`t possible to get a list of all members of this list with 
list_members or a who command. 
 
Mailman has to be able to handle other signs then A-Z 
and 0-9 in realnames and mailaddresses.

Hi Barry!  
 
This problem is really old now, I wrote it to you many weeks 
ago. It`s a *hugh* daily problem on our server and I really 
have to solve this problem and can`t wait any more! 
 
It is a middle-big problem that "who" and "list_members" 
doesn`t work, because the listowners aren't able to extract their 
own listmembers into a file or a seperate list. 
 
I have over 75.000 users in our mailinglists and there is no 
chance to have a working membership-management without 
the possibility to extract the membership-lists to work with! 
 
And it is a *hugh* problem, that the daily 
heldmessages-reminders to the admins don`t work! The daily 
cronjob to send out those reminders dies every day with this 
ASCII decoding error. And IT IS a problem, when no 
held-messages-reminders are available for a lot of weeks now! 
and heldmessage-management isn`t working correctly! We 
have to handle about 2000 - 4000 held messages in out lists! 
 
Please: Could you solve this problem in the really near future 
and give them a higher precedence?   
 
You know, I`ll help you and I`ll send you all the files you`ll 
possible need to debug an dtrace this error!

Using the actual CVS-checkout I still have problems with that. 
Because of that a lot of list`s doesn`t work properly and mails 
are shunted. Is it pssoible to clear that problem with a fast fix?

I think that the bug is on python itself, because is suppossed that 
encode(enc, 'replace')  show no errors at all according to 
http://www.reportlab.com/i18n/python_unicode_tutorial.html

 
But is the middle i remove from the code and works ok.
 .encode(enc, 
'replace')
